#49477 RE: Viewmont #49476

Be careful who you threaten Viewmont. There have been instances where using the same name for a product can be a case for a lawsuit. Nobody said it applied here, but it has happened. Maybe the supplement company is not aware of the same name of both products or simply doesn't care since it is not a similar product and doesn't effect their profits. The facts are the facts:
Yes, there have been lawsuits won for using another company's product name:

Trademark infringement lawsuits
If you use a registered trademark without permission, you can be sued for trademark infringement. You can face steeper penalties if you willfully infringe on another's trademark rights.

Injunctive relief
If you win a lawsuit, the court can order the other party to stop using the name.

It is also a crime to knowingly Pump a stock to make a profit although in the OTC it rarely ever gets used.
