Clay Gordon replied to Huy Nguyen's discussion Naming a business in the group Startup Central"Saxon is in use in Canada - which may or may not be an issue as has been pointed out.
Hotel Chocolat is in use in the UK and US.
Tazo is the name of a tea company and would be too close to Taza, which is in use in the US for a chocolate company."

A state trademark won't mean much if someone has one with the USPTO (at least this is what a lawyer told me). I…"

Dirke replied to Huy Nguyen's discussion Naming a business in the group Startup Central"I've gone through what you are doing and have also learned the hard way.
