Trademark Cease And Desist
California
Can I ignore a trademark cease and desist letter if I believe my use of the mark falls under fair use?
I recently received a cease and desist letter from a company claiming that my use of their trademark infringes on their rights, but I believe my use of the mark falls under fair use as I am using it for commentary and criticism purposes. I am unsure if I should ignore the letter or if I need to take any legal action to protect myself.
Tabetha H.
Ignoring a trademark cease and desist letter is risky, even with a potential fair use defense. While trademark fair use for commentary and criticism is recognized, its application depends on specific factors like how prominently you're using the mark, whether consumers might be confused, and if your use is commercial. Ignoring the letter could lead to escalation, including a lawsuit where you'd need to defend yourself at significant expense. A better approach is sending a response letter explaining your fair use position and why your use doesn't constitute infringement. This demonstrates you're taking the matter seriously while asserting your rights. Consider consulting with an IP attorney to evaluate the strength of your fair use defense and craft an appropriate response that might prevent further legal action.

Can I trademark a phrase that includes a commonly used word?
I am an entrepreneur looking to start a clothing brand, and I have come up with a catchy phrase that I believe would be a great fit for my brand. However, the phrase includes a commonly used word. I am wondering if it is possible to trademark this phrase, considering the presence of the commonly used word, and what steps I would need to take in order to do so.
Dolan W.
Hello! Yes, you can trademark a phrase that includes a commonly used word, but there are specific considerations. In trademark law, the distinctiveness of the phrase as a whole is what matters. A commonly used word on its own might not qualify for trademark protection if it is way too generic or descriptive. However, when combined into a unique phrase that consumers could associate with your brand, it can become eligible for trademark protection. Here’s an example: Suppose your phrase is “Boldly You” for a clothing brand focused on self-expression. While “Boldly” and “You” are both commonly used words, the combination “Boldly You” is unique and could be distinctive enough for consumers to recognize it as representing your brand, especially if it isn’t merely describing the products directly. Nevertheless, make sure your phrase has a unique or distinctive character that is more than just descriptive of the clothing products you plan to sell.. Best of luck, Dolan

Trademark Assignment Agreement
Maryland
Can a trademark assignment agreement be terminated if the assignee fails to meet certain conditions?
Can a trademark assignment agreement be terminated if the assignee fails to meet certain conditions, such as failing to actively use the trademark or not maintaining the quality standards set forth in the agreement? I have recently assigned a trademark to another company, but I am concerned that they are not using the trademark as agreed upon and are damaging its reputation. I want to know if there are any legal grounds for terminating the assignment agreement and reclaiming the trademark.
Sara S.
Hi, It depends on what your assignment agreement termination provision permits, and what is described as a breach of such agreement (material or no). You can learn more by discussing this with a licensed intellectual property attorney.

Can I trademark a slogan that includes a common word?
I am in the process of starting a small business and have come up with a slogan that I believe perfectly captures the essence of my brand. However, the slogan includes a common word that is used frequently in everyday language. I am unsure if I can trademark this slogan or if it would be considered too generic to receive trademark protection. I want to ensure that I am legally able to protect my slogan and prevent others from using it in a way that dilutes my brand or causes confusion among consumers.
Meghan T.
Hi! Trademarking a common phrase can be difficult. Trademark law prioritizes distinctive, unique marks that clearly distinguish goods or services. Generic, widely-used phrases often lack this distinctiveness, disqualifying them for trademark protection. However, a common phrase can acquire secondary meaning. This happens when it becomes so closely associated with a specific brand or product that it has unique significance in consumers' minds. For instance, if a phrase has been used extensively and exclusively for a product and is well-known, it might qualify for trademark protection. To increase the chances of successfully trademarking a common phrase, demonstrate secondary meaning. This involves providing evidence of: Long-term, continuous use of the phrase Significant marketing efforts to promote it Consumer recognition of the phrase as associated with your brand Distinct branding elements linked to the phrase The eligibility of a common phrase for trademark protection depends on specific circumstances and the jurisdiction.
