Good Morning ... I have a quick trademark question for you experts. There's a company who trademarked their name, I'll call it Big Red, and they make dog collars, dog beds, dog clothes, etc. I wish to open a fabric store called Big Red Fabrics. Am I infringing on their trademark? They are separate categories of business but they use fabrics for their products so I didn't know if that complicated things. Thanks so much for your help!
As you have realized yourself it is a close call and it would really depend on the specific name and usage by the various parties. Nobody can give you a definitive answer based on the limited facts you have provided.
