Question 3

How can I reduce the risk of a trademark problem involving Best Western International Incorporated's marks?

Accepted Answer

Do not use Best Western International Incorporated's registered trademarks, trade dress, slogans, or other proprietary identifiers without a license. Before listing, check whether your own design is visually similar to Best Western International Incorporated's registered marks — visual similarity, not just identical text, is what triggers most infringement reports. LogoVerify runs that visual check against 13M+ USPTO trademark images. This is general information; consult a licensed trademark attorney for advice on a specific design.

Question 4

Why does Best Western International Incorporated have more TTAB proceedings than wins and losses combined?

Accepted Answer

Many TTAB proceedings end by private settlement or voluntary withdrawal (often dismissed without prejudice) rather than by a Board decision on the merits. Those outcomes appear under "Settled / withdrawn" and are excluded from the win rate, which reflects only proceedings the Board actually decided on the merits.
