What is the name of your state? CA
I have a registered trademark for a very popular saying. My web site/company is also named after this saying. We sell printed greeting cards that also are the "registered mark" brand greeting cards.
I have come across a web site and newspaper that are using my registered mark and are making money from advertising... I sent them a cease and dissist letter and spoke with them. They are arguing that although I have a registered mark, they are NOT going to change it because it is a popular term. I have sent this same letter to other, very well known, companies who have used it... all have changed their signage within days of having their legal team look at our Registration #.
My question (sorry so long winded)...
Is there any way I can get them to stop using our Registered Trademark without having to hire an attorney?
Thanks!
