companies can have the same operating name as long as their businesses are in completely unique fields from one another.

Example: i can have the name Summit as long as I was not in the car parts business...etc

 

I know, and AEG still puts on events and such, so they are fairly close, thats why I brought it up...

 

^^^Different events though, and yes because ours is an acronym that stands for something different than we are fine. Our filings with the state and federal are under the The Automotive Entertainment Group. We use AEG for short. Prime example that I am sure you know is E.C.E I believe Greg uses that one, search it and see how many things come up. But thanks for the worries.

 

yeah I guess you have a decent point....


the naming convention should be enough though......Arts Vs. Automotive should be a big enough difference...but you are right....err on the side of caution and get a copyright/trademark attorney to verify and confirm....also get the service/trade mark and other incidentals registered ASAP to cover those bases as well IMHO

 

exactly. and just being a business major i am always looking at stuff like that from that view point...

 

The guy who got beat up deserved more than that. I know he had something to do w/ stealing my old car...everyone around here is not like that. It's pretty much.....one group of people. I've been to big car shows and seen more than one fight in a day, it happens.

 

Sure. Thats how we are instructed to look at things. I majored in Business Marketing with concentration in Advertising and Finance. From day one they teach you to cover all the details. Thanks for looking out. However, my brother in law is a corporate lawyer who does contracts and business agreements. He made sure that everything was covered. We are safe. Its the same thing when you see companies like ABC Liquor store, ABC Dry cleaning, ABC pizza...but thanks for all the concern. Always good to have others watching your back.

Primogen,
As far as the fight at the event, please know that we are sorry that it took place. Its really impossible to see those things coming. Once it was recognized it was taken care of. I understand your concern. Thanks for bringing your guys out. From what I am told you had some nice cars out. We realize that the meet was smaller. However, I think the location played a major role in that. Ocala is far for many of the tampa guys esp. when the weather can turn on you in a second. However, JJC is a great shop and we wanted to get some people out to recognize them. We hope to see you and your team along with everyone else at the next one. We have a few different things in the works. We are planning a track day for Fastbrakes.com, we are planning and AEG meet as we speak, and are planning something very special for all of our local vendors and retailers.

So keep an eye out.

 

gotcha. cool deal!
