Can another person use my trademark without permission?

No, another person cannot use your trademark without your permission. Trademark law in Massachusetts protects the usage of trademarks that identify the source of goods or services. If someone else uses your trademark without your permission, they can be held liable for trademark infringement. Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a trademark without authorization that is likely to create confusion as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of the goods or services. This means that if someone uses your trademark without permission, customers are likely to believe that the goods or services are provided or endorsed by you. If a trademark infringement occurs, the person using your trademark may be ordered to stop using it and to pay you the profits they made while using it. You may also be able to pursue legal action against them. Therefore, it is important to keep your trademark secure and to make sure that it is not used by anyone else without your permission. If you have any questions about trademark law in Massachusetts, it is recommended that you consult an experienced attorney.
