On the importance of trademarks, even the big companies miss things. There is a small mom & pop burger joint that had trademarked "who's your patty?" and had been using it for a decade or more. McDonald's had started using that phrase in their advertising. David beat Goliath once again.

Hello from Los Angeles! Clicked on your video to get some context since I'm starting an online business, but was surprised to hear you mention the Triangle! Was born and raised in Raleigh for the first 37 years before moving out to beautiful Redondo Beach 8 years ago :) Cheers!

If someone registers the name, "TREI" and they sell bath accessories, then can I register the same name if I sell lawnmowers? Basically, can the same names be trademarked if the markets are different?

This is actually my question as well. I saw 2 people in the USPTO that has identical Live Trademarks, but they were selling different things. I also want to do a Trademark using the same name, but selling a product unlike theirs. I wonder if it’s even worth the time & money to try, but as I said b4 it’s been done, the only difference was their logo & products..same name tho💆🏽♀️

Great advice! I just searched trademarks instead of Google, the name that I've chosen had a trademark at one time but expired in 1973. So it's okay for me to take that and TM it as my own now?

Yes, since it has expired you should be good to go.
