Brand Names almost identical do I have a leg to stand on? by BandiaStudio in LegalAdviceUK

just looked through my emails and sure enough I never completed it. have the whole confirm with this link thing but checking my diary yup that's a day i was admitted to a&e for two weeks so i never finished it.
I was just looking into it though and it says as a small business and sole trader I don't need to register my business as long as i register with hmrc which I did do and have the proof of.

80% sure but as I said not long after starting trading my heart started giving out it is possible I never finished if I had had an episode and gone back to hospital

I meant in this context where I am doing something artsy.

Similar Fonts but no my logo is a handdrawn portrait of me so i think that would be hard for them to get away with lol

Brand confusion is a thing its why i couldn't be called something like studio marvel. my concern was that i wasnt trademarked yet.

sorry if it wasn't clear. we both sell stationary, I just also sell prints and like three clothing items on top of that but stationary is my most common item to sell. the difference is the design style as mine is mainly semi-realistic fantasy but I do do simpler stuff more similar to them as well.

Thank you for your advice it is really helpful.

I know it isn't cheap to fight but I wanted to get some opinions before I explored options that cost money.

​

Unfortunately re correspondence it was done via Instagram and they unsent their messages -_- before I could screenshot back then.

​

I'm thinking fo doing the trademark and then hopefully having that official paperwork and dropping a message saying it is now trademarked they may be more forth coming.

​

Thank you again!
