Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia
The trade name I plan currently has a trade mark. However it is a different business in a different area. Would this be a problem down the road?

It really depends on the circumstances. You should consult with a good intellectual property attorney before using the name.

That could become a huge unsolvable problem with enormous liability and legal fees. You should not even be starting the process without an intellectual property lawyer, and a CPA and regular business lawyer should be people you speak with often as you start a business.
