I don't agree with the one you're replying to, but trademark is usually bound to a sector. I'm pretty sure Pepsi trademarked all sectors known to mankind, but many companies don't do that. If I start a bakery called FooBarBaz I can trademark that just fine even if there's a software company called FooBarBaz that trademarked the name only for software.
Found the dev.
It's lemmy, I think there was around an 80% chance anyway...
So you don't foresee any legal issues with pursuing my dream of opening a chain of nail salons called "British Petroleum"?
Just Dew It
That's a great slogan, really sums up the energy of the PepSi social network. I've just filed to trademark it.
What if down the road I wanted to use that slogan for my landscaping company, NiKE.
Would that be an issue?
Depends... Did BP trademark it every which way to Sunday (say for multiple industries/uses)?
