: My client would like to trademark a phrase that describes : a software system. The phrase is three words long and the first letter : of each of the three words forms the acronym ERS. In the same industry, : ERS is trademarked, but does not stand for the same phrase my client would : like to trademark. When writing about this system in sales collateral, : etc., is it illegal to use the acronym in parenthesis : after the phrase and to continue using the acronym throughout the : publication instead of writing out the whole trademarked phrase : since the three letters are already trademarked for something else? : Any help you could provide would be helpful. Thanks.
