What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I have a question relating to trademarks. If a name is already trademarked under the same Goods and Service category, but you were going to use part of the name in the same category, can this be done.
For example, lets use the company "Outward Bound" - which has a trademark application pending. Could someone effectively trademark and use the name "Bound"?
I am not so much worried about protecting the name as I am being sued years down the road for trademark infringement.
Any thoughts to this?
Thank you in advance.
