Re: Can entity type (LLC) be taken away for sharing common words with a marketing program of another entity?[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Trademark Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M.

: I have recently started an LLC company with two common english language words as the name. I was recently sent a letter from a lawyer claiming that his client has been using the same name for a marketing plan since 97'. He stated several things - that I knew this, that it was well recognized (locally and nationally), that my having the name would negatively affect the campaign, and that I needed to sign over the name to the other Organization, or a suit will be filed against me. I have the LLC registered with the Sec. of State. Do I have any reason to bow to their demands? And, can common words such as Built Green be considered Trademarkable? What course of action should I take? And, regardind domain names, if I have a .com, than they have an earlier registered .org, am I out of luck? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dear Pete, From what you have written unless you have acted in bad faith there a limits on what they can do. Give us a call. M. Arthur Auslander
