My question involves business law in the state of: Pennsylvania/California
I received a letter today regarding the name of my business which happens to be a day spa. Let's say for example, my business name is called (to protect my anonymity): Flower Skin Care. The company that wants me to cease and desist the use of my business name, as well as my website (which generates a lot of business), has a trademark under the name of "Flower Skin." they are a skin care manufacturing company, and the products are simply called "Flower." However, the company is called: Flower Petal Laboratories Inc., and their website is called: fpli.com My website is called: flowerskincare.com
I am a day spa, they are a skin care manufacturer. I sell skin care products at my spa (from different companies, not under the name of my business). I also sell my products online (again, not my own products, from different skin care companies; re-selling).
Can you anyone offer any advise here? Will I need to change my business name? My guess is that they want me to give up use of my web presence, because they want all web searches to go directly to them, and I'm in the way.
They filed an intent to use the name "Flower Skin" 5 years ago, but didn't actually register is until Nov. 2008.
My business has been open for 2 years.
Thank you in advance
