Re: Existing Product vs. New Trademark[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Trademark Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M. Arthur Auslander on August 15, 2003 at 00:14:06: In Reply to: Existing Product vs. New Trademark posted by Joe on August 14, 2003 at 10:19:25: : I need input. I'm a video producer. On the cover of one of my videos I use a symbol that's similar to a symbol that was just recently trademarked by another entity. My product and its packaging existed before the other entity secured their trademark. May I continue to use the symbol since my product existed prior to the other entity completing their trademark application? : Check out the link. Look at the VHS cover on the page. See the "ribbon" Dear Joe, The trademark law is too sophisticate for pat answers in a paragraph. First to use has a prior right but that is only where it starts. M. Arthur Auslander
