I have came with that name for a total opposite of this trademark can I still use it and copy right a different area of this brand
Hi, trademarking a brand is a two step process. First, you’ll need to do a clearance search to ensure that the name is available. Then, if the name is available, you can file for protection via a trademark application on the federal level with the USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office). If you... Read more »
I was fired in retaliation. My manager made my work environment hostile and uncomfortable. Every time I tried to talk to her to see what I could to improve things, I found myself being written up not to long after for attendance. I told her that I had depression and anxiety from day one. and that... Read more »
Hi, more information is needed here. Your depression and ADHD may qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It would be unlawful for your employer to discriminate against you on the basis of your disability (if it qualifies) or terminate you in retaliation requesting an... Read more »
Each story, in my book, has the name of the newspaper, name of reporter, Page No. and date. Then the story itself. Do I need to have permission from the newspaper? I have verbal permission, but I got that 20 years ago (I wrote the book 20 years ago, I am just now getting it published), and the... Read more »

if you are reproducing the whole article you should consider seriously getting permission
your risk is very high
This 16yr old boy gets a ride from his older sister,upon getting out he takes a bag full of guns. she does nothing to retrieve them from him. He ends up killing someone with one of these guns. would that fall under this category?
Based on the limited facts presented in the question, this is highly unlikely to meet the definition of aiding and abetting or accessory. There must be some knowledge and/or voluntary participation in the crime. If the sister's only "involvement" is seeing the boy take the guns, and... Read more »

I'm in healthcare and have been a clinical associate, CNA and dental assistant. I graduated KU with a 147 credit bachelors of general studies. Now I have a bunch of student debt and the only jobs available for me pay the same or less than before I received my degree and I'm at risk of... Read more »
On the few facts you provide, it seems that you got what you enrolled and paid for at KU. I assume that you chose your field of study leading to your degree.
That may change somewhat if you have something from KU, in writing, promising you a better paying job/career than what you already... Read more »
Employee was already hired. Fired them without giving any info except he failed background check..
Hi, more information is needed here but it sounds like a law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act "FCRA" is implicated here. Under the FCRA, an employer is required to provide the employee a copy of his background check (or "consumer report") and a summary of the... Read more »

Unfortunately, he would not be liable automatically, but those facts would contribute to having a jury determine that he was, in fact, at fault. Ultimately, it would be up to a jury to place a percentage of fault on each of the drivers. They could determine that the other driver was 90% at fault,... Read more »
I stopped at a stop sign, I checked both ways, didn't see anyone coming, so I slowly turned right into the lane. My car was old and couldn't accelerate fast, anyway. The other car hit the front left of my car with their rear right side. My car's front bumper was on the ground and the... Read more »
A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. This can happen, despite the superficial damage to their vehicle at the scene of the accident. The bodily injury claim was probably open for some time. If a settlement of $25,000 is reached, the next thing that should... Read more »

When it comes to any personal injury claim, I highly advise you use an attorney.

A Kansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks and time is of the essence in your actions. Reach out to a Kansas City criminal defense attorney, or if qualifying based on need, you could look into whether you are eligible for a public defender. Good luck... Read more »
We are working with a rent to own
A deed can include any group of people. A lender would not typically have a preference with respect to partners, so long as the partners were otherwise approved for the loan. Your question references a rent-to-own arrangement. The landlord would have some discretion over what arrangement they would... Read more »

My husband passed away 3 years ago in Kansas. He had properties in Kansas and Arkansas. The executor for his case requested documents in this past February. I haven't hard anything about this since then. What can I do to get updates for this case and move on?
Surviving spouses certainly have rights in Kansas. If there is reason to think the administrator/executor isn't doing what they need to be doing, I would strongly encourage you to talk to an attorney. They may be able to file certain motions with the Court to get things going, or there may... Read more »
Is not in my best interest to deny their request?
A Kansas attorney could advise best, but you await a response for four weeks. Your question may have remained open because although it's posted under Car Accidents, it looks like it has workers' comp elements to it because it took place in the course of employment. You could reach out to... Read more »

The trustee (other sister) expects me to pay 1/3 of taxes, insurance and repairs out of my share. How do I get the house sold and make sure I don’t pay for the sister to live rent free at my expense??
The best solution in these situations is for the sister in possession to buy out the shares of the other two co-owners. If she refuses, or if you simply can't reach agreement on a price, then you can hire an attorney to file a lawsuit to force the sale of the house and the three of you will... Read more »
