I see many have the same name. Guess most dont care or are not big enough so start a law enforcement

you're not stealing intellectual property, even if you use a name someone has trademarked. the first step would be a cease and desist, informing you someone owns the trademark.

if you ignore that, then it can go to the lawyers.
but you cannot get sued before this.
so i wouldn't worry.
until someone is established, or well known, it's rare they'd bother trademarking a name.

Even a cease and desist letter does not grant anyone rights to stop someone using a name. Lawyers send those things out like there’s no tomorrow, hoping to scare people into not using names that are vaguely similar to trademarks.

yes, it has to actually give you the information on the trademark, or it just the sueing equivalent of ambulance chasing.

if you dont get a few cease and desist along the way as an artist, you are not making waves

Finding a artist name, using existing name?
