Is it possible to trademark a business/medical center name?
Hello! Is it possible to trademark something like "&lt;insert city name&gt; medical center"? That way other business centers in the city technically aren't able to use it too? Thanks!

It can create a monopoly.\n\nYou might be able to register it on a federal level but most states and cities won't allow the use of the name. Even if it is allowed on the local level, the money you spend will be wasted as soon as anyone disputes it and that is only if you can get it past the inspector. \n\nhttps://www.yospinlaw.com/2016/06/15/trademark-on-a-geographical-location", "replies": [{"id": "ihqmspi", "text": "Very helpful.
