Dj trademarks etc.

[ben freeman]

So I am trying to figure out a new name for producing/dj and I found a perfect one. The problem is, that it is very similar to a company name that has Pennsylvania at the front of the name and Inc. at the end of the name. I don't want to get into any legal trouble here. What's the deal with having a name similar to a company name? I realize people are constantly ripping off trademarked material/names for their own names and using them without consequence. I am safe here?

I think you'll be ok.

I've never heard of the company 'Pennsylvania Milky Pirate INC' tho.

[ben freeman]

My name has neither PA nor Inc. in the name unlike the company BTWs.

[pkay]

is your name a parody of said company or could it be construed as a parody of said company?

Oh man, forget it, now I'm going with milky pirate!

I wouldn't say it has anything to do with the company at all.

This seems like another 'help me choose a dj name thread'

I'd like to start off with DJ CHEESETOASTIE

[pkay]

but it could be construed as one?

also is the business in any way related to music?

if they're in entirely different industries that usually leads itself that you're not attempting to inflict harm

[LA_Boxers]

I wouldnt make your name DJ Pepsi-Cola or DJ Femfresh or anything like that.

[ben freeman]

The company has nothing to do with music whatsoever. And no this isn't a "help me choose a dj name" thread as I already got the name, I'm just unsure if I would get sued over it.

[ben freeman]

The company actually works with the state of Pennsylvania, government type work.

[jameshk]

DC MCDONALDS is definitely the one.

[pkay]

I've heard of very few people being sued over dj/artist names. Exceptions being DJ Muppetfucker and REO Speedealer
