Hello,
Bali & Beyond is a performing arts and eduction company that also imports products from Bali including recordings, musical instruments, and art, furnishings and decorator items. We are based in Los Angeles and perform, teach and sell products worldwide including the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and various nations in Asia.
We have been in business under the name of Bali & Beyond since 1990, including business bank accounts, credit cards and fictitious business name documents. Records have been kept up to date since 1990.
I just discovered a Canadian company which imports products from Bali has taken the exact name of my business. They are selling similar items as I am.
My question is: Are they allowed to use the same name AND sell the same products? If not, is it worth it to pursue legal recourse?
Thanks so much for any help, ideas, advice.
