If somebody else registered trademark where they mispelled a word, can I still use that misspelling? (it's in the same industry of "toys")....for this example let's say they spelled it "Kreature Kamp", and I made a toy action figure called "Kick-Ass Kreature", would that be okay? The reason why I'm using the "K" is not to copy, but because it looks better for the alliteration.
I searched them on google and came up with nothing. I think they are actually a toy manufacturing company as opposed to the name of an actual toy.
Also, adding to the issue, there are lots of sites on the internet that use "Kreature" with a K instead of a C. There was one site with the K spelling, but it was selling puppets, and not toys...I'm not sure if this would be okay....I didn't go through all the sites, but what if there was a toy that had that K spelling, would I be in trouble? In my defence, it doesn't seem like any of them are "popular" or "famous", and none of them have the phrase "Kick-Ass" in front of it.
Thanks for the help
