Default somebody trademarked 80s baby

i wanted to do a company called 80s baby, but now its trademarked

what am i limited to as far as using 80s baby period

i know i cant use it as a brand name, but what else does that include

if i had a baby on a shirt saying 80s baby, does that kill that as well?

any answer to such a legal question here is worth exactly what you paid for admission...nada...nothing...so if I serious, I would spend $ for 30 min session with trademark attorney.

Charles is right, talk to a lawyer.

In theory, it's someone else's brand name and you can't use it (even as, say, a slogan on the shirt). Because it's also a generic phrase, they may not have the scope to completely prevent its use. A lawyer could advise you on whether or not that is the case (amongst other things).

We can only provide the kind of speculation that could result in you being sued if you paid us too much attention
