Q. Hi! If I created a personalized rug of a character that is trademark would I be in violation of trademark agreement?

17 January 2021

A: Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on how the trademark is registered and how you use it on your rugs and then if and how you sell it. You should also consider that characters can be protected under copyright (in addition to trademark). Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at benjamin@korraylaw.com

Q. I want to trademark a name that is considered “abandoned” and “dead” on TESS. What steps should I take?

17 January 2021

A: In order to ensure that the trademark is available you’ll need to perform a clearance search which includes the trademarks in your same class of goods / services as well as other classes of goods / services that may overlap with what you plan to sell. In addition to the federal trademark database, trademarks need to also be cleared on the state and local level. If you need any more help please feel free to email me at benjamin@korraylaw.com. Thank you.

Q. I own the domain name hodlerhotel.com I want to trademark holder hotel what do I need to do?

16 January 2021

A: The trademark process is usually done in two steps. First, you’ll need to perform a clearance search to ensure that the name is available and that there are no “confusingly similar” trademarks. Then, if the name is clear, you can protect the name by submitting a trademark application through the USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office). If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to me at benjamin@korraylaw.com. Thank you.
