- For "Jack In": NetDive, SyncLink, DigitalTransfer, CodeMerge, CyberSync
- For "PET": CompanionLink, DigiDevice, SyncPad, NetTerminal, CyberConnect
- Focus on terms that evoke similar concepts while establishing unique identity
- Consider compatibility with international markets and translations
- Prioritize terms that can be effectively trademarked
Description: Approach to potentially acquiring desired trademarks
- Initial market research to determine trademark holder's business activity
- Valuation assessment of trademark worth to both parties
- Phased approach beginning with licensing discussions
- Potential partnership exploration before acquisition offers
- Legal due diligence on trademark validity and transferability
- Development of compelling value proposition for trademark holder
- Consideration of partial rights acquisition if full purchase isn't viable
- Establishment of maximum investment threshold based on business case
Contingency Planning:
- Parallel development of our own unique terminology
