Names used as an example.

There’s a milkshake company called SBlended (sounds like splendid).

They own the trademark Sblended.

Does this prevent other companies selling and marketing a BLENDED milkshake?

In understand the confusion.

Could they accuse one of passing off if you sold
Blended drinks (like bartenders have for 100 years)
Blended paints?

I was merely curious as to opinions as I think I’m cases like this it is an opinion.

So do they own the rights to all descriptive drinks that are called blended xxxxxxxxx
OR would splendid be a greater infringement?

All of the above is before the question of should the trademark have been granted in the first place.

Ie, descriptive marks.

So if in registered sVacuum. Would it be enough to stop people selling a vacuum cleaner?

Probably overly simplistic I know!
