Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Who must be licensed?

Answer:
Anyone or any business/organization that wants to use another person’s trademark on their own product must have a license before offering the product/goods for sale.

Question: Can I use a company name and logo if I want to complain about a company?

Answer:
Yes. While trademark law stops the use of someone else's trademark to sell your competing products, it doesn't stop you from using the trademark to refer to the trademark owner or its products.

Question: Does registering a trademark or service mark give exclusive rights to the mark?

Answer:
Registration in and of itself does not guarantee exclusive ownership of a mark. You would need to consult private legal counsel for an answer specific to your circumstance.
