Trademark Dispute?
Q. I own a small home services business & have been operating under 2 names, I have finally decided which one will work best, & wish to trademark it. While it has not been previously trademarked, it is in use by about 10 different companies, all of whom have used variations of the name within their domain name. My plan is to eventually franchise the business, what should I do, given that the name is perfect for my business, & I am already using it?

A. Apply for a trademark. If you receive it, then you own the name. Usually though, trademark infringement only will apply if their is a possibility that the two companies and / or products can become confused. If I opened Blackstone Bakery and someone else opened Blackstone Chiropractic then they could both use the same name.
