i have several 'hottiewood' sites and branding options. including, 'hottiewood planet'

what's interesting is that they don't have so much a problem with the 'name' per se, but the fact that my original logo registered in june conflicts with their logo registered two months later. when i designed my logo, i had NO idea they were changing, nor did i even SEE their logo...obviously..

are they upset with you for the name or the logo, the two things could be very different issues, especially if planet hollywood

1. created an new logo before you registered yours
2. you registered a logo that looks like their new logo
3. and they finally got around to registering their logo

if the trademark office in the US is like it's canadian equivalent it only looks up the registered trademarks.
