This doesnt really matter. trademarks emerge through use, not registration. if you use the name as the artist and people recognize the name as the artist, then thats the trademark, registered or not Moreover, theres a decent argument that people would assume an artist called los hermanos is part of the record label (ala UR) - sort of a variation on the "aunt jemima" theory of trademarks (holds that even though aunt jemima is a trademark for pancake batter, someone else cant use the name to sell syrup)
at least thats what i think i remember from class last semester ;) Quoting kj at technotourist dot org <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > The Los Hermanos of Rolando and Mitchell is trademarked as the > label > name, this is an artist who calls himselves Los Hermanos. >
