He was involved with Crown Bar and Winston's, two "trendy" expensive LA bars that were popular many years ago. From his website (KAGLEW.COM), about trademarks- http://ale811.wix.com/restaurantgroupla#!Trademark-Considera.... "The name must not be descriptive" "Stay out of the dictionary. If your prospective mark can be found in a dictionary, it has meaning and will be a poor candidate for a trademark." That's cut and pasted from a document on http://patentax.com/ which also advocates bar owners patenting designs of chairs, shelves and dinnerware.
