QUESTION
Trademark law: I want to name my business in California but found the same name is being used in Kansas.

More details to this question:
I am starting a business in California, and found that the business name I want to use is already in use by a similar type of business in Kansas. I found the other business from a google search of the name, and found the active trademark in the TESS system online. Do I need to find a new name? What are the ramifications of having the same name in a different state? If I expand my retail store in other states, would I run into issues?

Federal trademark registration is national in scope. You are best served by finding/devising a new, unique and distinctive name.
