Ive been given the clearance by ASTIC that a certain name is available, but it does have similar overtones to another company that does'nt use the name but has it registered.
Examples ONLY here ok?... "Brentwood lawn and garden maintenance"
registered to 'Jeds Mowing' versus, "Brentwood Lawn Management"
The 2nd entity being available to me. BRENTWOOD being to suburb. I have looked all over the place and the similar sounding names are incredible, Brentwood painting, Brentwood painting and maintenance, Brentwood towing, Brentwood tow truck service, Brentwood plumbing, Brentwood plumbing and maintenance, to give a few similar examples, all these have similar names in various but simalar industries.
Would you consider the first 2 on the list as conflicting with each other?, assuming that the first one is owned by 'Jeds Mowing'(big franchise) and the 2nd one is available to use. (me!!)
