Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

Trademark / corporate name

Regarding a company using my same corporate name... There is a company that has the same name. They do venture capital. I do investment banking for real estate developers. Different business model but under investment services realm. What level of concern should I have that this company could preclude me from using my company name?

It could definitely cause a problem. I suggest initiating a trademark application (if they have not done so first).

It does not seem that you would care to be associated with venture capitalists. You may have remedies that would allow you to have the other corporation cease from using your name. For assistance, call me directly at 1.619.222.3504 or e-mail me at the address below.
