Members Puta Posted September 27, 2002 Members Share Posted September 27, 2002 i have been trying to come up with names for my future record label and for myself as artist, but all of the names i come up with seem to have been taken by small labels and artists from countries like Switzerland and Germany is it possible to use one of those names anyway or am i possibly going to get into lawsuits for that later on? thanx, Jipsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6am eternal Posted September 27, 2002 Members Share Posted September 27, 2002 You might get into lawsuits if they start promoting in your market or you start promoting in theirs. As soon as you start to have a competitive use of the same name, problems arise. Find a unique name. http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/doc/basic/index.htmlhttp://www.hitme.net/useful/ Good luck!

Members SomeGuyNamedRob Posted September 27, 2002 Members Share Posted September 27, 2002 Here's a litte trick that might work for you - add your country's name to the name of the label in some way. I've seen bands do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scheming Demon Posted September 27, 2002 Members Share Posted September 27, 2002 Yes, you will definitely get into a trademark dispute. Best to come up with a unique name so you don't have to worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meriphew Posted September 27, 2002 Members Share Posted September 27, 2002 I think it would be pretty stupid to use a name that's already being used. Not a wise decision in my book. Come up with your own original name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Puta Posted September 28, 2002 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2002 one more question... i was thinking of the names 'Subzero records' or 'knock out records', but they have been taken... can i then use a name like 'Subzero crew'? there is some software desiger crew named that way, but they are not really in the same business...
