A:
If the trademark for "Crow" expired in 1988, you might have the opportunity to apply for it now. Start by conducting a comprehensive search to ensure that no one else has registered or is currently using the "Crow" trademark in your desired category. This will help you avoid potential conflicts and determine the availability of the mark.
Consider how you plan to use "Crow" in your business or product. The trademark must be distinctive and not merely descriptive of the goods or services you offer. Additionally, evaluate whether the term has gained any generic meaning over the years, which could affect its eligibility for trademark protection.
Taking these steps will increase your chances of successfully registering "Crow" as a trademark. It’s advisable to review the latest trademark regulations or seek guidance from a legal professional to navigate the application process effectively.
