[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3398966, member: 99642"]I'm not a lawyer, and I never act like one, on here or on TV, but what we have there with those two similar logos is not trademark infringement.NGC is obviously different from NCG. You can't trademark the entire alphabet. You can only trademark your set of letters in your order. Think about it : Could ABC TV sue BBC TV ? or NBC TV? Could CBS TV sue PBS TV? Whether it's slightly different letters or slightly different [I]placement[/I] of the same letters, there is enough difference to not be trademark infringement. However, you can bet both groups have attorneys who are watching both groups very closely. One to catch the other crossing the line, and the other to avoid crossing that line. Another possible legal angle might be fraud. Is the one company purposely, intentionally, and willfully attempting to appear as the other company in order to steal business from them? That would be a near impossible task to prove it. Even in a civil court where only a "preponderance" (51%) of the evidence is necessary to win. Again, I am not an attorney and I am not providing legal advice.[/QUOTE]
