My middle name is Marshall and I want to use it for my clothing brand “Marshall Clothing”
I have checked trademark databases and the phrase ‘Marshall Clothing’ is not registered.
However, I realised that the word ‘Marshall’ is highly associated with the company “Marshall Amplifications”
Is my brand infringing on anything? Am I at risk of being sued? Please help
Whether a proposed trademark is infringing on another mark depends on many factors and is not limited to trademarks that are registered with the USPTO. Generally speaking, before using a trademark you must ensure that the mark is not confusing with another mark that is currently being used in the same or related class of goods or services (in your case would include clothing, accessories, etc). Consult with a trademark attorney if you need assistance.
Name calling
It occured to me that if you are around a bunch or people andone personcalles another ''nigger'' andthe other person responds with out any objection, then arn't they publically allowing themselves to be called by that ''name''. So howthen can they object when another, having heard this name used and responded to without objection, be unjustified in clling them by the same ''name''. The object here is for all to stop using it, not just a select group of people. Thanks
Employment law
I have worked for a company for 30 years. Held my current position for about 15 years. Now have been told my job is eliminated, pay cut 20%, title given to a coworker and someone else hired to supervise me. No one in that position before. We now have three people in the jobs that two were doing before, my title has been transfered to someone else, I have taken the only pay cut and I was never counseled in any way about poor job performance. Can I pursue this as a legal matter?

Fencing
My neighbor put a fence up on his property but it blocks access to ours. What are our legal rights in this? We have asked that a gate be put in which would solve the problems, but he refuses.
