    I don’t agree with the one you’re replying to, but trademark is usually bound to a sector. I’m pretty sure Pepsi trademarked all sectors known to mankind, but many companies don’t do that. If I start a bakery called FooBarBaz I can trademark that just fine even if there’s a software company called FooBarBaz that trademarked the name only for software.

      So you don’t foresee any legal issues with pursuing my dream of opening a chain of nail salons called “British Petroleum”?

          That’s a great slogan, really sums up the energy of the PepSi social network. I’ve just filed to trademark it.

          What if down the road I wanted to use that slogan for my landscaping company, NiKE.

          Would that be an issue?

        Depends… Did BP trademark it every which way to Sunday (say for multiple industries/uses)?
