Hi,

I have a question about trademarks. What counts as a trademark? What if it's not registered with the government?

Here's the situation I'm in:
There's a company with an online product. Let's call the product Blue Oranges (not sure why). But I was able to purchase the BlueOranges.com domain name. Does that company own the trademark then? Would I not be able to name my product/company Blue Oranges or Blue Orange?

Thanks for your help! :)
