- Q. Can my mother get a trademark for the name of a church dance group that she started?
- A: You do not need to have an entity to own a trademark. As long as the name otherwise qualifies for trademark registration, she can own the trademark personally. There is not enough information here to determine if the name would qualify for a trademark registration.
- Q. If a name is registered to be used in one section ( clothing ) can this still be used for other type of business (food)!
- A: I hate to say it, but it depends. Certain classes the PTO considers close enough that there may be a natural extension. If it is a very famous mark (like Nike, Coca-Cola or Planet Hollywood), than this is more likely. Especially, if the marks are exactly the same. Classes with goods which are completely different (like tires and charitable services), especially if there is some variation in the mark, this is less likely a problem. This is probably something you should discuss with your lawyer.
- Q. Is it against the law to have the intent to steal copyrighted or patented information.
- A: Generally speaking, if it is just one person who has not do anything in furtherance of actually stealing, then no, it isn't illegal -- i.e. it isn't a illegal to just have the idea in your head, you have to take some sort of action to accomplish the goal (e.g. downloading or copying the protected material--which on it's own could be an illegal infringement depending on the circumstances). However, if you discuss the intent with one or more other people, it becomes a conspiracy, which could be a crime, again, depending on the circumstances.
