Question about Trademark Law

I am creating a business and am not sure about how to use a trademarked name within the business name?

For example, my business would be teaching people how to use Photoshop (trademarked by Adobe), so the name I wanted the business/website to have would Photoshop ______ (fill in the blank with whatever I decide, something like Unmasked, Simple, etc). I was not sure about the legality of using an already trademarked name within my name if I show that it's registered to Adobe? If I'm promoting the product, simply teaching people how to use it?

Re: Question about Trademark Law

You should not use someone else's trademark in your name as the owner will claim that such use would suggest to consumers that you are authorized, licensed, etc. when you are not (i.e., trademark infringement).
