Legal Question in Intellectual Property in North Carolina
Use of a previously used acronym to describe a business project
If a company wanted to internally use a particular acronym to describe a specific project or initiative, but said acronym is already in popular use (e.g. NASA, Nascar, etc.), what permissions, if any, would be required?

Re: Use of a previously used acronym to describe a business project
If you are using it internally, there are not going to be any trademark issues because trademark issues will only come into play when a business uses a mark in commerce (take away the commerce and there is no issue). Further, it is likely that you may even be able to use it in commerce (depending on what your goods and/or services are). If you have further questions, you can call me at (847)845-4345.
