Will get the cease and desist letter? You or the original owner?
For instance, a lady in Connecticut owned a family restaurant for 55 years called Nike's. She was obviously in business long before Nike the shoe company and her last name was Nike. She was forced to change the name of her restaurant because Nike had registered the name as their trademark.
This just doesn't sound right to me. Anyone know anything about trademark violations and rules? There is a company out there that has one of my site's names but it's just not plural. If I Trademarked my business name could I send them a C & D letter since it's deceptive?
