Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia
The Lanham Act of 1946 prevents any local, state or government agency from altering a corporate trademark. In my town Charlottesville, VA the county has been forcing corporate businesses to change their trademarked signs either by color, style or size. I already know this is illegal and it's happened to a half dozen so far. I've talked to Toys R Us and they are very upset. What can be done?
