I recently manufactured on a CNC machine 5 sets of high performance skateboard trucks. The design copies very closely a design of a company that is no longer in business. I believe they never had a patent on their skateboard parts. Is it legal for me to sell my product? They are not exact... Read more »

if they are not selling the same products under the same brand in the same territories, both may be able to coexist
if they are selling in the USA, they can claim rights over the brand, even if it is not registered

It would be a bad idea for me to guess what led to the abandonment and what response you filed. It would be a good idea for you to contact the USPTO help desk as they can look into the electronic file and let you know the next step.

technically yes,
why would they do that?
what is the extend of the trespass?
whether you can go after them or not depends on a number of factors.
if you think you have a problem of this nature, consult with an attorney.

I have other designs and I'm debating whether to seek copyright protection or a design patent.
Yes, you should be able to seek legal action. Go see an intellectual property litigation attorney.
I don't speak for JUSTIA, I just sometimes answer questions that users have, but from I understand, if you have a patent, it will automatically be accessible through this site. For more information, please contact the owners of JUSTIA.
I want to file a trademark for an LLC I want to make
Depends.
In theory yes, but you need to stick close to what you listed.
If you plan to sell more than just your initial description, you should list it in your application.

The safest way to approach this is to locate the owners of the video and request permission or license the content for use.
Since you're selling these for profits and not using them for personal use, you might get into trouble for trademark and possibly copyright infringement without the appropriate licenses and permissions from the trademark owner.
I am an artist and been thinking about buying a domain name "walt" as it is my own name, for my personal artist website and brand. However, there is lots of companies named Walt and obviously Walt Disney. Will using that domain name get me in trouble or is the trademarks only affecting the category... Read more »
Is it just Walt in the domain name? Is there more to it? I recommend doing a search to make sure the trademark or variations of the mark are not owned by someone else in your field and related fields.

Hire an attorney to review the alleged infringement and if you are correct send out a C&D letter. If that doesn't work then you sue them for infringement.
It depends. Do you and your co author have an agreement between you? If so, the terms of the contract will govern. If there is no agreement are you selling the actual copyright or an interest in royalties. Without an agreement, you can sell your part of the copyright, or a royalty interest.
need to know what can be done to help me on this situation...
This happens, unfortunately, all the time.
If you have a patent on your invention, then go see a patent litigator to give you options on how to get some sort of licensing agreement of your patent in place, or to file a suit.
Good luck!
