Tried to search for the answer to this with no joy.
My partner runs a very small drop in kids play session. As part of a written description of the session she advertises she uses two words.
She received a fairly snooty message from a company a few towns away claiming to have trademarked those two words and asking her to change the description. They are common words used in describing a kids drop in class.
I've checked the IPO and they have TMd a sentence which includes those two words. There are 9 other trademarks with those words in.
As they have trademarked as specific sentence as their company title is this person wrong on asking my partner to remove a descriptive paragraph about the nature of her business that includes those two words. My partner hasn't used the sentence they have trademarked or even the two words in her business title.
