Can I name my magazine The ohio entrepreneur ?

Question

I was wanting to start a new magazine and did not know if that would be an infringment on entrepreneur's magazine.

Does anyone know can i use the word entrepreneur in my magazine Title with out getting sued by them ?

and do you think it would be a good idea ?

Answer 1

i dont think its worth the risk.

try calling it something more simple such as the ohio times or

'the latest dramas'

Answer 2

You won't get sued right off the bat, but you will get a cease and desist letter...then you'll end up having to change the name because legally you could win the arguement, but it comes down to do you want to spend the money on a lawyer to win the case...which in this case would probably be $50,000 to $100,000 wasted dollars.

I would pick something else to avoid even having to deal with this problem in the future.

Been there, done that...it's not worth your time.
