Not necessarily. You could apply for a trademark / patent, but there is a period that it can be contested.

For example you could easily file and probably get the cambertire word mark, but John Scott or Optima Sports could contest and fight it to ultimately get it, unless you can prove your using it for something other than tires. Search Red Bull its a fun one, they have trademarked everything to protect themselves.

JOHN SCOTTS biggest mistake in my opinion was that he did NOT contest patents filed by some major tire companies such as Goodyear. Since he did not contest within the timeframe after being notified they granted Goodyear a patent and JOHN has no more recourse.

He WAS provided a notice because any citations on a patent filing are provided notice. If you look at goodyears patent as well as several others you will see Johns patent is cited.

Johns poor businessman ways have done him in, thats why he hasn't been able to sell these things for over 10 years.
