Do you know if calling hair care brand 'Glamr' is going to be an issue to copyright if there are brands like Glam Glow and a magazine called Glamour magazine ? We will be selling our own branded products. These are the two I am somewhat worried about. Glam Glow sells face masks, moisturizers, serums and toners. Glamour magazine is a womens lifestyle magazine that talks about makeup, fashion, hair, entertainment and beauty in general. I don't want to start the process yet as it is too expensive at this point in time. Considering I have worked with you a few times now, what do you think the likelihood is of getting "Glamr" through. I have done a trademark search for Australia and also the USA What would be the best option or easiest option? To simply come up with a new brand name or add a second work to the end of Glamr. Such as Glamr and Shine or Glamr Hair
I am not a lawyer but I have had multiple businesses and been through many trademark exercises. Glamr should not be a conflict with those trademarks you referenced, especially if you are not competitive with those businesses. If you are a magazine super similar to Glamour, you may have more of a problem. But as long as the business is different, that name is plenty different than those two.
You can search the US patent and trademark office's database at this URL:

I searched for Glamr and it didn't return any results. It defaulted to looking for Glamor results and nothing looked like a conflict. Glam also returned no results that should be a problem for Glamr.
Obviously, it would be ideal to check with a lawyer but, in my non-expert opinion, you should be fine.
