trademark
Using a trademarked word as part of another word
<p>I have read many questions asking the opposite: splitting a trademark into multiple words.<br />
Not sure if the scenario is the same.</p>
<p>Example: company named &quot;FilterJedi&quot; selling water filters, is this a trademark infringement because jedi is protected and is a famous term? even when the company is not using any logo or reference to StarWars and is not in the business of entertainment?</p>

<p>There are 95 Jedi trademarks on file. Tons of them are dead. The word &quot;Jedi&quot; itself is trademarked by Lucasarts (a subsidiary of Disney) under Registration Number 3794988, listed for print products and clothes, 2858244 for digital mediums,     2595365 for toys, 2823661 for entertainment services.</p>
<p>Now, most jedi marks are Lucasarts, but not all. <a href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=88625298" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Serial 88625298</a> was &quot;Jedi Ooolong&quot;, filed by Kombucha tea, which did get processed, filed and a denial/request for an amendment was sent back, and 6 months later the mark was canceled for non-answering. The request contained this line:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 5581531.  Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Registration number 5581531 is/was &quot;The Last Jedi&quot; for juices, the rest of the document goes over why it is denied.</p>
<p><a href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=88672347" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Serial 88672347</a> is &quot;Gediforce&quot; for &quot;Downloadable computer programs for data processing; downloadable computer programs designed to estimate costs and health impact of various gestational diabetes mellitus medical screening choices&quot; - and this mark exists since about 2012 in Denmark and 2019 in the US, and granted this April. No conflicting marks.</p>
<p><a href="https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=90150034" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Serial 90150034</a> is &quot;Chris Jedi&quot; owned by a music label for music, clothes, and entertainment services - recently filed but not yet granted or even given to an examiner.</p>
