Expired or Abandoned Trademarks[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Trademark Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Stuart Hilger on July 24, 2001 at 15:57:48:
What is the potential risk of creating reproduction collectables mirroring antique products from living or out-of-business companies with abandoned or expired trademarks. For example, if Ball Jars were no longer an active company and all marks were expired or abandoned, could I reproduce Ball Jars in their orignal form including color, design, name, etc? What should I look for when doing trademark research to determine whether an older, antique item has lower risk associated with reproduction? Is an abandoned trademark stronger than an expired trademark?
