Hmmmmmmm.

El lago means 'the lake' in Spanish. Does the potato chips have a
copyright on the word "the lake"?

Shut up, Bess, you're a pest and you don't know nothin! Girls aren't
allowed here anymore, let alone girl captains. It's bad enough we
gotta
put up with the likes of Gaynz who's girl enough.

It's a friggin food product and the site I linked handles food
products
and has the rights to the el lago name. They'll be all over Joe like
Al
Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on Jena as soon as they find out about it.

I guaran-dam-tee it.

I believe the issue would be "registered trademark", rather than
"copyright"

Nonetheless, Joe may have a bit of a problem, if the owner of that
tradmark
decides that his venture may be confused with their own, and wants to
pursue it.
Has he even registered the trademark? I would assume he has, since he
claims to
have done a lot of research.

My guess is that the "El Lago" brand that sells chips, and condiments
would
have a pretty easy time convincing a judge that someone selling coffee
beans
under that name would be an infringement.

Yeh, that's what I think too . . . What if the first El Lago decides to
have their own brand of coffee? I think they have a right to that
registered trademark for it. Joe will be seen as a Johnny-come-lately.
Could lose his ass.

Trademarks that are "merely descriptive or deceptively
misdescriptive" cannot be registered. 15 U.S.C. §1052(e).

A trademark does not exist in isolation. It must be used in
conjunction with specific goods or services to signify the source or
origin of those goods or services. For this reason, the same word can
be used by more than one company as a trademark, as long as the goods
or services are different. Thus you can buy a Cadillac automobile and
Cadillac dog food. You can buy Sun computers and Sun gasoline. These
marks can coexist because there will be no confusion among customers
seeking one product and accidentally buying the other.

Putz!

Next.

I'm assuming you've either filed for DBA papers using El Lago as the proxy
for your own name or have incorporated your business under that
name...that will be some protection for you.



What's totally pathetic is a sockpuppet talking to himself.
