Question- if I wanted to trademark a name but the name/ company is not active, can I still trademark it? Not active meaning in not doing anything with it right now.
As long as you have a genuine intention of starting to sell products or services under the brand in the future (2-3 years from now), you can file your trademark based on an intent-to-use basis.
I want to start a UA-cam channel but I am so scared that years down the road somebody somebody is going to come after me for trademark infringement do you have any special advice that would help me out in my predicament I wish to create content without always having this in the back of my mind
Yes. If you are planning to have a long run with your UA-cam channel and you are planning to make it a brand and your business, my advice is to get it trademarked very early on. At the very least, you need to know when the name is even trademarkable in the first place, because the last thing you want to do is invest your time, money, and energy into building something that can never be yours and something that can easily be taken away from you.
If (OPI) Company would have filed a Local (State-Trademark™️) that could have increased their common law rights, Huh? 🤔 Before filing a Federal Trademark because some small businesses can’t afford a federal yet. “Correct Me If I’m Wrong”

Not really. State trademarks are largely useless.
@@trademarkfactory I don’t think it’s useless. It’s just not Federal, but it’s useful Locally State wise.
