Trademark Infringement?


I have a major motorcycle company that says because one of my websites has the name Harley in it and that’s one name out of four ho++++harleybik++gif++.com its a trademark infringement. I makle no mention of being affiliated don’t sell their stuff or pretend to be part of their organization. Is this worth fighting. Are they in the right or just a big company taking on a little nothing website. I’ve had the name for almost three years

Someone Is Deliberately Using My Trademark?


I bought a business just recently, and another person who used to be affiliated with my business decided to start there own exact same one, except they left out one letter… ex.
George’s Online Store(s)
George’s Online Store( )
This person made there own business using all my copyrighted info which i purchased the rights to because the previous owner ran the business poorly.
I purchased it, put a lot of money into it and now im finding out that their using it. Only thing is, I am just filing for a trademark now, but my business has been running since 1990, this other person just started theirs.
I understand I probably have to wait for it to be approved, but is their anything I can do in the mean time. This person is ridiculous, who would be that stupid when they could get sued?!

Trademark Help Please!?!?


Okay, a few questions here. First off, if someone has filed a trademark that I want and it is in abandoned and dead status.. for more than a year.. can I apply for ownership?? If not can I submit a similar trademark in my own work and be granted ownership of that one seeing as the original similar trademark is dead & abandoned?(I would prefer this option since I like my work better) Also, if I have a trademark containing text in the form of a domain can I argue for rights to the actual domain? Or does that just give me ownership of the manner in which I have the text displayed in my trademark? Finally, if I trademark a logo that I intend to use with my brand do I also have to trademark the brand? (for example: if my logo was a smiley face and I wanted to make my brand smiles) would I have to trademark the logo and the brand name smiles? Or would I submit the logo and somehow link it or affiliate it with a company name of smiles? Sorry if I didn’t present these questions clearly..sometimes it’s hard to ask the right question(s). I appreciate input from anyone with legitimate experience or knowledge on this matter!! 🙂
