Trademark Mischap
We have a clothing line, we have not trademarked our brand. We just checked the federal database and it seems that someone already trademarked our brand. What can we do about this?
Re: Trademark Mischap
In addition to Ms. Cowin's advice, which I agree with, you should make sure that the category of goods covered by the earlier mark conflicts with your line of products. Just because someone registers "Pushmataha" as a trademark for vodka doesn't usually prevent someone else from registering and using "Pushmataha" as the name for incense, a cold remedy, mattresses, tractors or software.
