Please help with my company!!!!?

Question

Okay, so i own the company QualityMods, http://www.freewebs.com/pyroid/ and on his tagline it says "Quality Mods for all gamers" i am pretty sure my company has been around alot longer, if i get my company Registered can he get in trouble?

And how do i register my companies name?

Answer 1

You have no space after the word quality, so his use of quality mods can not be an infringement on qualitymods. even if you register qualitymods.

Since you already know that this other company is advertising quality mods rather than qualitymods, you might think that you could register a name that would make his use a problem. No, he got there first and is using generic terminology not your trade name.

Answer 2

If you live in the US, check out your secretary of state and see if the name has been taken.  If it hasn't, you can apply (fill out a form and pay them some money.)  After it's approved, the name is yours to use and abuse.
