I'm putting together a business plan for a retail cafe concept. I would love to name my biz after a former cafe chain that went out of business a decade ago but don't know any of the legalities. Do the former owners of the now non-existant business own the name forever. would it be safe to use a similar name. I wouldn't pay money to pay tribute to my favorite old coffee chain but wondering if anyone out there has any insight into these type of legalities? Thanks!
