Does Using Of Shortened (minus 2 Last Letters) Version Of Registered Trademark Infringe The Copyright Law?
July 12th, 2009 at 04:26am Under trademark law
Trademarks and copyrights are two different things.
Potentially your use of a registered trademark (albeit with 2 letters missing) could be classed as a trademark violation.
It would depend on a number of things though such as using the same design, if the word is obviously recognisable as the original trademark etc etc.
If it is done in a way in which potential customers would be “confused” etc.
