RECENTLY I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A COMPANY WHICH HOLDS A TRADEMARK REGISTERED UNDER CLASS 32 BY THE NAME "ABC". MY COMPANY NAME ALSO CONTAINS ABC WHICH WAS INCORPORATED IN 2011. NOW THE TRADE MARK OWNER IS DEMANDING THAT AS THEY HAVE THE TRADEMARK REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR COMPANIES NAME. MY CONTEXT WITH REGARD TO THIS IS THAT BOTH THE COMPANY HAS DIFFERENT FIELD OF OPERATIONS. ONE DEALS IN ALCOHOLS AND THE OTHER DEALS IN SHIPPING.
WE BELONGS TO CLASS 39 AND UNDER THAT THE TRADEMARK OWNER HAS NOT REGISTERED ITS NAME.
IN CONTEXT OF COMPANIES ACT, WHAT STAND SHOULD I TAKE AS CHANGING THE NAME OF THE COMPANY WILL AFFECT OUR BUSINESS HUGELY.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
