Legal Answers
- Q. need trademark renewal. Herbert Kesler
- A: I would be glad to discuss this with you. Please feel free to contact me at the number on my website, link from my Justia profile.
- Q. If your product has a trademark, and it does not fall within the ballpark of their goods/services listed. Is it still ok
- A: Your question is not clear. Are you asking whether your product is infringing upon another party's trademark registration if it is the same type of product? Or are you asking whether your own registered trademark is being infringed upon by someone else's product or service?
- Q. Is it ok to register a business / trademark using a different name?
- A: This response is not specific legal advice and is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship. You should speak with a trademark registration attorney for specific information regarding your particular proposed trademark . A trademark is a word, name, phrase, slogan, or logo that uniquely identifies the source of a product or service sold in interstate commerce. Some companies own many trademarks. One of those trademarks owned might be the name of the actual business, or it might be the name of a product.
