Do they own this trademark?
<p>A company has been closing all my social media account, saying I infringe their copyright. Their documents say they have the name (example) 'Chocolate Cookie Extreme Baking Company'. In their text however they claim they own the name 'Chocolate Cookie' in the whole baking industry. Is this even possible?</p>

<p>My name is 'ChocolateCookie Company' (note the lack of a space there) and therefor I think they are not in their right. However I do not own the trademark for 'ChocolateCookie Company'. Do they?</p>

<p>Yes, sort of possible - from the sounds of it they may well have registered the trademark "Chocolate Cookie" - and indeed their statement "in the whole baking industry" actually implies this may be the case - trademarks are typically assigned to an industry/sector - so McDonald Trucks can co-exist with McDonald Restaurants.</p>

<p>Note that a Trademark is not a Copyright - I would be extremely surprised if you were infringing on their copyright - and if they are actually claiming that, you can probably challenge them.  You are most likely infringing their trademark.</p>
