Hey there,

so after lurking around and not being able to post anything because I had no account, I finally made one and need your advice now.

I'm on my way to brand, import and sell a product and searched for a brand name. Somehow, the result was the name of an island. The product or brand isn't connected to this island and the brand name on the product would only be the name of the island without any additions.

Will this cause any problems for me in the future? Will I be able to trademark?

Hope some of you are to able to give me some advice.

Have a great day,
V
