I’d be surprised if she wins. Start with “Kia” being in there - I’m sure she doesn’t have permissions to use that name and I’m sure it’s trademarked. Her registration will be cancelled and the legitimate business will then register it.

Yes, could be?

I was a partner in a motorcycle franchise, and the state of Illinois had more BS rules and inspectors with a hand out, than I thought possible.

Much may depend on the dealer’s relationship to the inspectors and how much they want from the dealer.

There is a difference between registering a name and trademarking a name.

Kia is a common dog name.

All she has to do is make a cupcake and call it “Kia.”

“Kia” cupcakes $2.99.

Done.
