    Withdraw trademark application or persist and risk opposition? So torn.

    Thanks very much Dan. Yes I definitely agree and can see just avoiding the problem will create an even bigger problem later on down the line. Will face up to it now and hopefully it gets resolved. I absolutely do not want to be in a situation years down he line where they take me to court so...
