We would need to review the language in your divorce decree to determine whether you would need his consent to change the name. I would recommend you schedule a consultation with an experienced family law attorney to discuss your specific situation.

Looks like you are being refused because your mark is very similar to another one already registered.
Your best and cheapest option is to choose another mark.

Hi, I live in Missouri and have a rental business. Every month I have to go through 1-4 evictions. Most judgments I get are never paid. This is an ongoing issue. To make things easier, I have created a spreadsheet that fills out forms for Rent and Possession, Unlawful Detainers and Garnishment... Read more »
Rent and Possession petitions and Unlawful Detainer petitions need not be filed using the forms made available by the Missouri judiciary or your local circuit court. I am not certain but believe that the garnishment forms on the available at https://www.courts.mo.gov/page.jsp?id=103116 and your... Read more »
I've had an online clothing company for over 7 years and just found out that someone else (in my city) recently started a soap company using my exact same business name.

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.
My girlfriends uncle is the one who tried to set it up and he isn’t very good with technology and now I’m up at the farm working and need to get this figured out

I assume what you want is to be sure the drawing is covered under US Copyright Law. Once an item is put into a tangible medium it is copyrighted under US Copyright Law. However, to receive damages if someone infringes on your artwork, you need to file with the US Copyright Office. You can... Read more »
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!
If the owner is willing to sell the Trademark, you can do so, but to insure everything is done correctly, then you must retain an experienced IP attorney.
trademark and copyright knowledge needed
If you're merely trying to protect the design on the shirt, then you'll want to register it for copyright with the US Copyright office. If however, the design is actually the name of your brand, then you'll want to register that brand name for trademark.
Note that word printed on the... Read more »
The general criterion for deciding if a name should be used is whether the use will cause a likelihood of confusion in the marketplace as to the source of the goods. The conflicting mark need not be the same as the new mark. A search would have to be done and an attorney would have to interpret the... Read more »
I’ve had the name longer but they’ve used it first in commerce and it is Not registered
The US is a "first to use" jurisdiction in terms of trademark registration and not a "first to register" jurisdiction. If you were first to use the name and the first to apply to register the name, potentially, you should speak with a trademark registration lawyer--and I'd be happy to do... Read more »
Im getting started in the music industry as a dj and I figured out a name that was available in all social media and the .com Can I trademark it?
Yes - if you are not actually performing under that name yet a good practice is to file on an "Intent to Use" basis, until such time as you are actually using the name. If you can show that you are actually performing under the name now, you can skip the Intent part, and go right to registration... Read more »
Could a couple of their names be featured in the book title? Could I write each chapter focusing on one public figure scientist, explaining their perspective on the topic as researched through free material found online? Would a disclaimer at the beginning of the book saying these scientists... Read more »
In the absence of careful legal planning, this book could run into a number of legal problems. A disclaimer is a good way to avoid presenting a misleading picture. However, disclaimers and attributions in bibliographies do not avoid copyright problems. There are issues of derivative works and fair... Read more »

No.
Actually, all the facts need to be known to see if a legal justification could be supported. However, you could still face signficant legal expense if Craigslist decided to sue you.
the trademark had previously been field approved but abandoned. I have been selling unaware of this trademark

I am interested in a trademark and it has been marked "abandoned-failure to respond". Does that mean that it's available for purchase by someone else?
You are confusing the process. You can buy a brand or trademark from somebody who has rights over it.
If an application or trademark expired or were abandoned, you can file for it.
However depending on what the brand is, the trademark may have some value or owner, if it has been... Read more »
