: I intend to register a Trademark for a brand name for a clothing line I have designed.I am reasonably sure that no one is using this name as a line of clothing. However, there is someone who has a corporation in the same name, but it is a totally different business. They are offering a service.

: Question; Can i still proceed with my trademark application if somebody has their coporate name the same. Two totally different businesses.

Dear Mike,
It looks all right. Why don't you break down and get the advice of a good intellectual property lawyer you can trust?

You screw up now it is down the line that it cost much more than you might save, not using a proper lawyer.

I also emphasise that you use an IP lawyer. Many GP's don't even understand the subtleties of Intellectual Property law and what goes on in the USPTO. The USPTO is getting a little cazy now too.
