Do you look the trademark when you buy clothes?

Usually yes....because it's a matter of quality.

That would very likely be a registered trademark...you should contact the Spurs directly, as they own the mark.

Yes, indeed, but it's not directly related to "brand" as in "brand name", as you may be thinking.  \n\n"Brand" in Old English means "a burning piece of wood (just taken from the fire), a torch", later called a "firebrand" (the root is related to the word "BURN").  In the 16th century it gained the meaning "identifying mark made by burning (with a hot iron)". \n\n"Brand (name)" is a 19th century coinage, with an obvious connection to the branding of cattle with a distinctive identifying mark.\n\n"Brand new" is not so very new -- it is connected to the earlier senses of the word, appearing by 1570 with the sense of "new as if fresh from the fire".

Nope.  It's trademark infringement.  And it's very, very bad.  Why?  Because whatever money you make will be lost (and then some) when they sue you.

Check the US Patent Office (they cover trademarks) to see how to search and apply for trademark.

The brand name which reaches well across the world is termed as branding across the borders...there might be companies in ur area which is familiar only in ur locality nd it has no value when u go outside it...a few companies have its branch all over the world and does good business at all the places that too without needing to change its name for any region where they establish it!! Hope u got it!!

Will you go to prison? Probably not.\n\nWill you be sued? Probably not without an opportunity to mend your ways.\n\nWill you get a "cease and desist" letter from the brand owner's lawyers? Increasingly likely, as there are more and more crawler systems on the market seeking trade mark abuse.\n\nAre you entitled to use an e-mail address brandname@yahoo.com? No. This is a prima facie case of "passing off". You could ultimately be sued for any income you make from a "passing off" activity. That is income, not profit.\n\nCan you use brand names in your site metatags? No, this is also potentially "passing off".\n\nIt is always best to get approval from the brand owners before generating any income on the back of their names or logos.

I dont think so. \n\nWhat you may need is a good company to do that for you, good amount of money and time and it depends on your item/service for trade mark.

Nah, it's fine.  Despite what their commercials want you to believe, they are all pretty much the same thing:\n\n1) Wad of absorbent cotton\n2) String\n\nSo it's okay to switch around until you find a brand you like, or buy brands on sale, as long as you follow the directions and don't leave them in too long.

While those marks may be old and/or unused, that's not to say that the trademarks are no longer valid. It's best to check that out & consult with a trademark attorney.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Go and ask your bank. They have lists of aliases and may be able to tell you the companies real name.

Why do people wear trademarks and brand names?  Why do they wear items that advertise their favorite sports team, or band, or their school?  Others do wear atheist merchandise, and other spiritual things.  Why do people wear any of that? Furthermore, why do people express themselves at all?  Why don't we just all wear universal uniforms, shave our heads, and all look the same?  Is that what you had in mind?

Well u can do an extension to the brand name and lounge it as fresh. For an Eg: NEW McDonald , Supreme KFC etc.

You want to check with the Division of Corporations within your state, however another big concern is to also check existing trademarks with the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  Why you may ask?  Even though a company and its name, which are created by the laws of the respective state, may not be in direct conflict with any other company of that state, you may run into problems later with trademark issues of other companies from other states with similar names.  Trademarks are usually registered with the USPTO and they provide a search engine online at uspto.gov .  It is worth checking, to avert future lawsuits of trademark dilution or unsavory business practices with regard to trademark infringement of a company that you did not know had a similar name or logo, albeit you should have known in terms of the law when such trademarks are federally registered.  Remember, companies are created by each state, and your state will only check to see if that company name is registered in the state; so be prudent and check the trademarks of other companies!!!
