Question 3

How can I reduce the risk of a trademark problem involving H-D Michigan, LLC's marks?

Accepted Answer

Do not use H-D Michigan, LLC's registered trademarks, trade dress, slogans, or other proprietary identifiers without a license. Before listing, check whether your own design is visually similar to H-D Michigan, LLC'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 H-D Michigan, LLC 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 Those outcomes appear under "Settled / withdrawn" and are excluded from the win rate, which reflects only proceedings the Board actually decided on the merits.
