Graham & Dunn’s own GreenTech blog is on a roll with three posts in recent weeks on trademark issues affecting the “green economy”:
- The post, “Trademarks and ‘Green Depletion,’” questions whether green startups are running out of good names. (Fortunately, they’re not.)
- Part 1 of “Trademark Basics for Startups — Selecting a Company Name” provides a primer that new companies — green or otherwise — should consult before consulting their lawyer. Always a good tip: register your domain name as soon as you pick your company’s name. It’ll be snapped up sooner than you think.
- Part 2 of the post focuses on selecting, clearing, adopting, and protecting a new trademark.
Interesting info, which isn’t limited to green companies.
