You need to consult with a competent attorney. The legal issues aren't as simple as they may seem at first glance.
Companies have prevailed against individuals in cases where the company name, and the individual's name, were the same, solely on commercial grounds. For example, the McDonald's restaurant chain has prevailed against individual restaurant owners named "McDonald", although such claims don't always work.
TL;DR: See an attorney.
- wikwocket 13y agoOn the other hand, individuals have prevailed against corporations. See Nissan Motors vs. Nissan Computer. But I would agree; talk to an attorney if you are concerned. Most will give you a 30-60 minute consultation for free. Get a referral from a trusted friend if possible.
