Location: New Hartford CT		There is an ad running in CT for a health care outfit of some sort....named Ovation.

Is the name still registered/trademarked to Ovation Instruments New Hartford CT or can any new start up simply take the name as its own?

Hence Apple computers were taken to court by Apple music and told to stay out of the music business. Then they just took over the music business and it took years (and lots of lawyers) for Beatles music to appear on iTunes.
