Obviously, unrelated owners of the same or confusingly similar trademark cannot successfully do business in the same geographical area. If they did, consumers – you and me – would be naturally confused over the source and quality of the goods or services, which in turn would affect the economic viability of the businesses using the trademarks. Whether or not the trademark is registered or common law, the priority user is the one who used it first. Federally registered trademarks provide a presumption of validity throughout the whole country, whereas common law trademarks are valid only within the geographical region of use. Often these disputes involve common law trademarks, not marks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
