: We are looking to register a trademark with an industry acronym embedded.

: As an example, let's use the word 'CDWorld'. It contains the letters 'CD' which is an industry acronym for 'Compact Disk'.

: We believe we can trademark a word as such however, I'd like to see what the boards think.

Dear Mr. Gill,
There is risk at least of descriptiveness. Must see the whole picture.
