Are company names/logos protected after they go out of business?[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Trademark Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Jack Webb on April 13, 2002 at 00:07:19: I want to use the phrase, "Bell System experience" in my company signs using colors that were used by a former Bell company. That company went out of existence (under that name, anyhow) in the 1984 consent decree breaking up the Bell System. It has undergone two name changes since. Can I use that phrase? If someone wanted to establish a "Woodward & Lothrop", "Montgomery Ward", "Packard" or "Pan Am", since those entities no longer exist, would there be any basis for a suit?
