The system is a mess. I have a small side project and I trademarked the name, yet a competitor of mine used my trademark to promote their site and after speaking with several people about my situation they made it clear that unless I was willing to put up about six figures to fight it there isn't much I could do.
- parfe 12y agoNone of those people you spoke to sound like lawyers. It won't cost six figures to have a lawyer send a letter. Your competitor might not like the six figures prospect of defending themselves.
- akmiller 12y agoActually they were business people who have been through this battle before spending in the six figures to defend their marks (along with my brother who is a patent attorney). But yes, you are correct that sending a letter is the first step but if that step is ignored then the next step will cost money...and too much money for a single developers side project!
