shoe brand (trademark, design) question - GoFuckYourself.com

I have a question about a shoe brand (trademark etc).
I own a pair of shoes that my father had as running shoes. I don't think that company exists and there is no tm on the name.
How do i do if i want to start the shoe brand again, is it possible, and do i have to buy the rights to the design and brand or?
the shoes must be almost almost 20 years old.

It's not the right forum but did'nt know any that specialices in trademark, etc

first check if the brand name is free. Go to a registration agency etc.

check the registration office, benelux has a large one, Im sure Sweden too, normally the patent/trademark will stay for a nr of yrs 10 20 at least, you gotta check that first.
