Do you mean "phished"? If so, you may be correct; it appears to possibly be a scam of some sort. Just because someone sent you an email claiming to be "SMG" doesn't mean that you have actually been sued.

What is the cost for trademarking one class service and one mark. This is for a software company.
You have government costs as well as attorney fees to consider. You should consult with an attorney and get an estimate.

An organization wants to use the curriculum I co-authored.
You should consider copyrighting your product. Your license is a private contract, unless you are transferring full ownership you should not have to register anything.

The organization listed under "Rights and Permissions" is dissolving. I need to either transfer to a new org or owner.

I plan on Live feeding the Mummers Day Parade in Pennsylvania to my Youtube channel. The marching bands play music and there is other background music in the parade. Would those music sources be considered "fair use" for News Reporting of the event?
My channel is mostly outdoor... Read more »
This is not a simple question and it may not be cost-effective to retain counsel. But you need to play it safe and make sure you have written consent to record. Fair use is a complex issue. Your channel is for profit, and unless you have the proper corporate entity for your YouTube channel, you... Read more »
The NFTs are going to be cartoon recreations /drawings of the Jordan and Dunk silhouettes. I was wondering if publishing and selling these would be legal.
I would suggest that the question is not so much whether publishing and selling the NFTs is "legal," but whether Nike can and would assert their legal rights (trademark and copyright rights) against you for doing so. The answer is probably "yes" to both.
You can start by registering the copyright.
Enforcement will be up to you, via civil courts.
I don't know how to contact the owner: Rick Davies Productions (Supertramp)
You can start googling them.
You can check with the copyright office to see who owns the rights for what you want.
For context, a friend of mine purchased an item from a website that has since been shut down due to a copyright infringement lawsuit. They are curious if their personal information the defendants are in possession of will be given to the plaintiffs and they will be contacted. They have not... Read more »
I sell a shirt that says “My Chemical Imbalance” hand drawn in reference to the band, My Chemical Romance. I have looked at their trademark and as far as I can tell, they don’t have the proper trademark to take my listing down unless I am misunderstanding.

I would like to make rosary’s and sell them what sort of license should I get?
Why do you believe you need a license? Who do you think owns the Rosary? According to Wikipedia, it dates back to 1214, from an apparition given to a saint. No one owns, or could own, the decade, or the sequence of five of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosary#History
