What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Hi~
We are a band located in Petaluma, California. We have been the band Foreshadow since 1998, as a local band, and now that we are finally getting bigger and ready to tour the United States, we need to Trademark our name; since we have been confronted by other bands using the same name. We are needing a full trademark for services and goods, since we will be also selling cd's and t-shirts, etc. When doing a Trademark search, we found that a year ago a wine/spirits company Trademarked this name. We have tried to do our homework to find out if we can also trademark the name, since it's for a completly different use, but cannot find the answer and cant get a lawyer to call us back. We have a back-up band name, just in case that does not show any trademarks, but do not want to do this unless we must. We have noticed that other names have multiple trademarks, so this is why we pose the question. Can we legally do this?
Thank you SO much!!!
