Registering trademarks owned by others is illegal, and your customer SHOULD
have a good case. Of course if this is a name or common term, or a PART
of a trademark, it is a cloudy issue. ALSO, in ABSOLUTELY CUT AND DRY cases
such as nissan owner of nissan consulting that did everything before a company
called nissan motors existed(CLEARLY he should have won. Nissan Motors
did NOT have a trademark on this, and he had earlier use, a native tie,
and usedit in GOOD FAITH(he had a legitimate legal reason to use it, and
did not compete.).), may STILL be lost or left in limbo. go to http://nissan.com/
to see what I mean.
