Re: Store name trademarked
Are you saying you have a trademark for the business name, someone else has a shop with that name or did before and they won't let you use it? Well there's a few issues here. One, the store has data and sales tied to it of another party. Some systems are more lenient others cannot be altered. The next issue is Lanham Act issues. Just because you have the mark now doesn't mean someone else wouldn't be able to use the name. Also you register the mark for only certain codes, if they sold products in a different market they have a valid claim to the name.
