DOES A PRIOR TRADEMARK APPLICATION OR REGISTRATION OF AN IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR MARK PRECLUDE ADOPTION OF A PARTICULAR TRADEMARK?
Not necessarily. Trademarks are registered in respect of a particular product or service in various international classes. Your chosen name may be identical to a previously registered trademark, but your product or service may be completely different and may not give rise to any confusion in the marketplace.
