Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 How in the heck can someone ? Were you already using it professionally before it was trademark and did you file your business with the governmental agencies? This is a crazy world we live in. I like Spellbinding Essentials. It has a catchy ring to it. Quote

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 Hi Gang, I need your creative assistance, my little company is under attack. A brittish company ( figures), has trade marked the name witch, here in Canada. So my little company name of witch essentials is currently being opposed by an expensive group of lawyers. I am looking to make a switch , I need to come up with a name that covers spell supplies, natural beauty products, candles, incense etc, oils and herbs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 <A brittish company ( figures), has trade marked the name witch, here in Canada.> How can one trademark a common noun???? The world is even crazier than I thought. And even so, how can they make it worth while to go after small bus like Carol's??? Carol, who are these $%#^ so I can be sure to never inadvertently buy anything from them? Ien in the Kootenays ******************************* Stop. Breathe.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 I have had the business registered with the provincial government for 3 years now and was happily using the name. I had someone in Britian start using my company name and decided that I should trade mark it here in Canada, to avoid problems on this end. What a mistake, lol.. I have been in correspondance with these people and they are dead set against me using the word witch , period. Funny thing is that I really don't think that they are aware of the company on their native soil. Carol wngsolight wrote: >How in the heck can someone ?
