More details to this question:
stating that someone else in Michagan also has the same name. We are both in the same industry of Disc Golf products. I have done MANY searches for his busness but cant seem to come up with anything that would indicate he truly is copyrighted and/or his business is even current. What would the aproprate action to take on this as we do not want to change our name. Is there a way to come up with a sullution without going through the courts? Please advise me on Trademark laws and/or copyright laws I may have infringed upon.

As a general matter, the law of trademark, not copyright, applies to matters such as this. The phrase DISC GOLF appears in a number of registered trademarks. It is not clear whether the owner of this mark is pursuing you. You need to have a consultation with an attorney who practices trademark law. If you want to discuss this matter, please call our office during business hours.
