This is incorrect information. In the US,
anyway, the way it works is that no
one
has to apply for a trademark. You get one
by opening a business under a
certain
name and then doing business under that
name.
You can apply for a
trademark, and in
this case, both sides have, but neither
has one in that
sense. That's why
each side now wants to try to prove they
deserve it and not
the other guy.
Here are some
resources you might want to
read on trademarks. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Trademarks can affect old brand names as well.
Which is why the WNBA was sued for trademark violation when they set up the
Seattle Storm. Another women's basketball team in Seattle had been using the
name for years, and had registered their trademark in Olympia years before.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
