Can I trademark a name that already exists?

Well, folks, you've thrown a curveball with this one! "Can I trademark a name that already exists?" you ask. Well, imagine trying to trademark 'Coca-Cola' or 'Nike' - you're more likely to get a free trip to the courthouse! In simple terms, if a name is already trademarked, it's a big fat no-no to try and claim it as your own. So, before you get too attached to a name, do your homework and check the trademark databases. And remember, originality is the spice of life!
