Hello,
I would like to register a business name with the state. However I am confused with regards to trademarks. If I am granted usage of a business name by the county and state could I be sued for trademark infringement down the road?
For example: I am naming my company "XYZ Technologies", but there is already a "XYZ Research" trademarked. Could that company sue me down the road because the XYZ (XYZ is obviously just an example) is the same?
