Excerpt from Trademark law

The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark. However, registration is not required. The owner of a common law trademark may also file suit, but an unregistered mark may be protectable only within the geographical area within which it has been used or in geographical areas into which it may be reasonably expected to expand.


The Holy Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church in North America
Our Service Mark

Service mark is word(s), symbol or phrase used to identify owner of mark. In this case our mark, according to the USPTO shows the logo with text and below states: (Words Only): THE HOLY EASTERN ORTHODOX CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA

Thus use of our mark in whole or in part is illegal when another "church" takes our name and/or logo and claims to be us.

Our mark has been in use (common law) since 1927 for our church and since 1928 for the corporation and in 2000 was Registered with the USPTO. Since we have had the name more than 5 years under both common law and as a Registered Mark our rights by law give us exclusive right to the use of the mark and this is incontestable according to law.
15 USC § 1065
