- Q. We are being accused of TM infringement. Our product name is NeuroMagT and the trademark is Neuro-Mag (with the dash).
- A: It will depend on a number of factors, including how close your goods are to the goods of the trademark registration owner, when you began using the mark in commerce. You should consult a qualified trademark attorney to discuss the specific details of your case.
- Q. Why was trademark “ I'D RATHER BE FLYING” abandoned?
- A: The Applicant never completed the registration process. In order to obtain a Registration Certificate, the applicant needs to file a declaration with a specimen establishing that they are using the mark in commerce. The applicant did not do that. They may not have actually used in commerce, or they may had some other reason for not proceeding with the application.
- Q. According to U.S. PATENT NO. 10,745,833, we need clarification if we are producing same towels can we import it into US
- A: U.S patents cover importation (if your product infringes the patent, you cannot import them into the U.S. without being liable for infringement). This patent covers both fabric products and methods of manufacture. The specific coverage is defined in the claims, which are of varied scope. Whether your towels would infringe this patent can only be determined by comparing your specific products and manufacturing methods to the language of these claims. You should consult a qualified patent attorney who can assist you with this analysis and give you an opinion regarding possible infringement.
