Evan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Why aren’t the Aquarium Co-Op name, logo and Murphy picture registered trademarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted June 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2021 Essentially our patent attorney said not to worry about. As we've established our brand worldwide for years, we have common law ownership. They'd have to prove they did due diligence to make sure our stuff wasn't used in this industry. Trademarking is a very specific and long process in general. Each version of a logo, colors, phrases etc would need to be done to offer a little bit more "protection" An article like this probably explains it better than I can. https://secureyourtrademark.com/blog/establish-trademark-common-law-trademark-rights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 I'm glad you got legal advice about it. You have such a strong brand it would suck if someone tried to infringe on it. Maybe you could ask your lawyer about at least using the little "TM" on your logos, etc. By the way, I didn't see it mentioned in the article but if you have a registered trademark and someone infringes there is the possibility you could recover from them three times the amount of your damages. Sorry if this topic is too off-topic even for the General Discussion board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
