Addams would that have any impact on me selling my product in Canada?  I'm still trying to read up on trade marking.  I did see a company on line that was called Snug as a Bug, I wonder if it is the same company.

Hi Crypto, the waiver is you should always see your lawyer for real advice, but indeed if you sold your product under the name Snug Bug blankets I think both of these trade-mark owners, Canada and the USA would have a case against you because they are selling in the same channels of trade, namely children's clothing or linen products.  You can have a similar trade-mark if you were selling cars for example but if you are in the same area of trade then you cannot.   I don't think they are the same company though because their marks are slightly different - in design features - and also in the description of their wares.  So it's likely two different companies.   Indeed since they are two different companies I am not sure they can sell their products under their trade-marks in the other person's country.  I have seen this before.  I have a client with a trade-mark that he can only use in Canada since someone else has the registration in the United States.  If you wish to sell in both Canada and the USA I recommend getting trade-mark clearance searches for both countries.  Or you and I could browse the databases to get at least a gut feel for the deadons.  Wink
 
I think you should try for something that distinguishes away from these folks.  IMHLO (in my humble legal opinion - but I am not giving legal advice in the United States where I have no jurisdiction to practice for US citizens)

ACK!!!  This trademark stuff is  Huh Huh Huh Huh.  The actual name that I want to register is Snug Bug Kids Company.  Blankets will be one of the products that I'm selling.  The actual blanket won't be called a snug bug unless I can get away with it  Grin.  So do you still think I'll have a problem getting a trade mark with the full company name?

Crypto.  I can't check right now - very busy with real life but I need to do the database search for Snug Bug Kids.  
 
That would work in my opinion to distinguish you from someone called Snug as a Bug.  What else are you planning on selling?
 
you don't trademark the word Company and you will be using your company name on your labels and hang tags and that is considered trade-mark use.  So you should pick a company name that also survives the trade-mark tests.  Otherwise you won't have as much goodwill in the value of your "intellectual property" ie) your trade-marks will be worth squat.

Other products will include, but not limited to:
 
40"x40" flannel blanket, reversable and non reversable
20"x20" mini flannel blankets
burp cloths, flannel on one side, cotton on the other
flannel crib sheets
flannel twin, queen, king sheets
blanket doll
robes
slippers
 
There's more, but I can't remember them.  I have the list on my business plan at work.
 
P.S. I wasn't expecting you to drop everything and run the search.

Hey I knew that!  By the way I love trade-marks.  It's something I really enjoy alot.  I will check the Snug Bug Kids also the two that Maggi suggested.  Then post what  I find.  
 
Chedder is so so so cute.  I love the blankets you have made Crypto.  The lace is so special.  They look very professional.  Great idea for a business.  
 
night all.

I can tell you that sewing shirts AND posting on Survivor boards does mix (I've been doing it the whole time I've been posting on Survivor boards), so I'm sure you can sew blankets and keep up with your posts.  Wink
 
Now, about those blankets.............they are beautiful.  Just the kind of thing a new Grandma-to-be could go for.  Smiley
 
What a cutie little Francesca is, thanks for letting her model.
