Company Name Already in Use as a Website
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to trademark my company name, and when I checked the USPTO trademark database, the name appears to be available. However, I found a company using the same name on their website (they don’t seem to have a registered trademark).
My question is: • Will this affect my ability to trademark the name? • Could their prior use of the name cause issues for me down the line, even if they don’t have a trademark?
I want to make sure I’m not running into any legal complications. Any advice or insights from those experienced with trademarks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
