In reviewing the Official Gazette for March 15, Vision noticed a pending application for EXPRESS ESPRESSO for ground coffee beans. One of Vision’s popular products in its gift stores is ESPRESSO EXPRESSO® used for ground coffee beans. Vision is also planning to build tot lots at its resorts to be called KID CITY. In conducting its trademark search, Vision has discovered that while Disney Co. owns a registration for KID TOWN®, the sections within its amusement parks that used the mark KID TOWN® were dismantled two years ago. Vision recently discovered that another resort company is marketing its golf courses under the mark GREEN DREAMS. Vision owns a registered trademark for DREAM GREENS® for its golf courses. Finally, Vision, which offers a well-known line of candy in its gift stores under the mark CANDY EXPRESS®, recently discovered that a company is using the name CANDY XPRESS in connection with adult pornography.

Activities. Discuss the appropriate actions Vision should take to protect it marks ESPRESSO EXPRESSO®, DREAM GREENS®, and CANDY EXPRESS®. Additionally, if Vision wishes to use KID CITY for its tot lots, what should it do with regard to the registration issued to Disney Co.?
