What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
Hi,
I sell t shirts online and a competitor is attempting to quietly trademark several common phrases that are sold
on t shirts and workout wear by dozens of online vendors (including my company). He is not the originator of the
lines nor are they related to his business name, brand names, advertising taglines, etc.
My understanding is that common 2-4 word t shirt lines cannot be trademarked.
The trademarks have recently reached the publication for opposition period. Does anyone have any advice
on drafting a well-worded letter of protest?
Thanks
