Question

In 2005, Recreation & Relaxation Corporation began making and selling all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) under the mark "R&R." Ten years later, recoveryandrehabilitation, Inc., a differ¬ent company selling medical equipment and supplies, begins to use "R&R" as part of its URL and registers it as a domain name. Can Recreation & Relaxation stop recoveryandrehabilitation’s use of "R&R"? If so, what must the ATV maker show?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

No Recreation & Relaxation Corporation cannot stop recoveryandrehabilitation Inc from using the trademark because it does not bring any form of confusion amongst the companies( their customers are able to tell one company from the other). Recreation & Relaxation Corporation is in a different industry and sells a different product or service from recoveryandrehabilitation Inc therefore the registered trademark R&R does not warrant the company from trying to stop the other company from using it as per trademark infringement
