Client had a business called "That Little Brake and Muffler Place." He brought in a letter he got from a lawyer in Tennessee, threatening a lawsuit for trademark infringement if he didn't "cease and desist" from using his client's identical name immediately.

I wrote back, pointing out that the legal standard is whether the similar names could cause "confusion in the marketplace." I opined that one seeking brake or muffler work in Tennessee would probably not range as far afield as Washington state, so confusion would not be likely.

I also told him my guy had been using the name since 1980. How about his guy?

Needless to say, I never heard from him again.
 
There used to be a bar in Lubbock called: "He's Not Here Saloon"

Also, a funeral home in Amarillo, Texas -- Boxwell Brothers
 
I remember on radio WBAP in Texas there were an advertisement. It was called,
Boyd Brothers Better Barn Builders, Boyd,Texas
Try saying it real fast several times.
 
Back in '95 I worked as a Welder / Fabricator for Advanced Steel Systems; we had the contract for all of the steel work - stairs, railings, Infield tunnel, etc. for the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. License plate on the owners car read: "A-- Inc" .


PS: (even though it's the proper abbreviation of a "proper name", the filters won't let me print it)

Reminds me of the Davin James song, "Nowhere Lounge"

Wife: Where you been?
Husband: Nowhere...
Wife: Come again?
Husband: Nowhere...
I'd been better off fightin' with a bear, than to tell her I'd been... Nowhere! LOL
 
There used to be an office supply company here called I.M.Rood
On the side of their trucks,it said I.M.Rood,"By name,not by nature"
 
Funeral home in Bemidji, MN and another MN town....Cease Funeral Home. Interesting bar name north of St. Cloud, MN...Rumors Bar.
 
Used to be a bar in this area next to the reservoir dam, can you see it coming? "Best Bar By A Dam Site"
Now the small newspaper in the area claims to be "the best paper by a dam site".
