[Groop] Question on "trademarking"

[royalslik at aol.com]

Very cool info.

And as a followup, when a word or phrase is "trademarked" a classification of goods or services must be selected, so in general a company that trademarks the word "synchro" (example) for clothing cannot generally prevent someone else from using the word synchro on anything besides clothing.  

Here's something to consider:

The Valence Group, LLC currently owns a registered trademark for "DIA DE LOS MUERTOS" for the category covering "Entertainment services, namely,the continuing production and exhibition of live theater production,stage plays and musical shows." and it has been registered since 2007.  

 IGT CORPORATION NEVADA currently owns a registered trademark for "DIA DE MUERTOS" for the category covering "Gaming machines, namely,devices which accept a wager." 
and it has been registered since Feb 2012.

Disney filed a bunch of trademarks covering all sorts of categories and abandoned the applications.

A few days ago, Cerveceria Mexicana, S. de R.L. de C.V. CORPORATIONMEXICO, applied for a trademark for "DIA DE LOS MUERTOS" for the category covering beer and ale.

Wishing you all the best of luck and good fortune in your Groo collecting.

Best,
Anil
