Dear PAO,
We are planning to start a laundry business with a certain trademark. When we conducted our personal research, it appeared that our intended trademark was still free for use. To save our operating cost, we decided to cut our legal expenses relative to the processing of our trademark. We later learned that there are two ways of acquiring ownership over a trademark, i.e., either through prior use or through registration. Unfortunately, we got only confused by these. Hence, we seek your legal opinion on the rule on acquiring trademark ownership.
