Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

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: Is the name of a band a trademark?

Answer:
It depends on how it is used. A band name may function as a service mark for entertainment services in the nature of performances by a musical group if it is used to identify and distinguish the service of providing live performances.
