Federally trademarked business name controversy? -

I own an operate a business in California. Recently, I was contacted by a lady in Ohio who claims her business name (which is the same as mine) is federally trademarked, and threatened to have state and federal enforcement order me to cease and desist the operation of my business. Although the business name is the same, and the scope of the business revolves around pets, but the services offered are much different. Now this lady has posted something on the internet about me that may damage my business, but I ve done nothing wrong. I just don t understand why it would make a difference if we have the same business names, because we re in 2 different states. Someone please shed some light...I have also contacted the other businesses with the same name, and it appears this lady in Ohio is singling me out. She has contacted the other businesses but I am the only one she has slandered on the internet. How can I have the slander page removed from the internet?

I ve been trying to get a trademark for a clothing company for about 3 years. I m no expert but I have learned a little bit along the way.When you file a trademark, you specify specifically what the trademark is for. This is public records (www.uspto.gov). If she didn t include what you do, I don t think she can claim a trademark on it. Remember, if it went to count it would be subjective so you never know what the court would decide.Here is the contact info for my trademark attorney. She is located in downtown LA.http://www.buchalter.com/bt/index.php?ac��- for the work/advice she has done for me, I consider her fees very reasonable.Good luck!!FYI - she has nothing to do with why my trademark hasn t gone through.

1. Do not use the link in the other answer- Spam or Malware?2. Do some research - contact the US Patent and TradeMark Office and determine if they really have the trademark confirmed, or just applied for. A Trademark has a significant time requirement before it can be legally defended, different from a Patent or Copyright.3. Get an attorney!

1-the services you offer are irrelevant2-trademarks are national - not state related3-if she had the name first and trademarked it - you have to change your name or deal with the legal ramifications - which will require you to change you name anyway and may also cost you legal fees

Selling this on eBay? Does it work? -

If I forged signatures on baseball and nascar-racing cards, do you think people would purchase them on eBay? I know someone through my work that is doing that but I haven t asked how much he gets for it.

Sure you can do that - BUT if someone gets the signatures validated that you forgedThe FBI will be knocking on your door for perpetrating fraudThe only thing you will get is about 15 years in prisonWithout you including a verified document of the signatures - what fool would bid on them ? ?It would be only a matter of (a time bomb) would explode in your face.

Stupid fraudulent idea!!Hope you get scammed on ebay then the shoe is on the other foot

Do you any sort of license or planning permission to open a cafe in UK? -

I m thinking of opening a coffee shop in an end terraced house - do you need any planning permission if I was not to serve alcohol or change the layout?

You would need A3 planning permission and you will not get it for a residential building.

yes you need planning permission and health and safety would also be involved,no way would it be easy

Yes, ask your council, business link or citizens advice service for help

Employment agencies providing work at home typing jobs? -

I am retired with 50* years of secretarial experience. My home office is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. I can work with no interruption and in a no-noise environment.

Unfortunately, appleone.com and voit.com who are the two major headhunters for office type jobs; do not at this time, provide work separate and apart from their client s establishment. You would have to first be hired as an employee and then make arrangements to perform in-house assignments from your home.On another subject, here s a legitimate work assignment which generates a reasonable income:If you are an accomplished typist - word processor and have recently visited your local city college or university librarian, you can apply as a certified graduate typist, earning between $1.50 to $2.00 per page for a master or doctoral thesis. The librarian will provide you with a sample of the typing template (i.e., margin settings, font selection, page set up, etc.) in order to complete these projects using Microsoft Word. An average weekend income is about $300-$400 for two days work.Good luck!

1. Typist jobs are obsolete.2. Work at home jobs are a myth.3. All offers for those jobs are scams.

Can I sell my blood for cash? -

Some blood banks will give you cash for it (at least where I live they do).

Believe it or not you can donate plasma for cash, but not blood though. But talk to a real vampire (not any fruitloops like onTwilight, lol jk) and they will give you a free trip to heaven for a donation!

mmm, so, that s why you want to stab yourself? please don t do it, just go to those places you donate

Sometimes you are able to do that yes, however, often times you simply donate blood.

not blood, but plasma you can!

yes ; yes can

i think so.goodluck?
