It irks me that the American Red Cross is making this claim - it's ridiculous as there is NO possibility for confusion, and the idea of a "red cross" is so ubiquitous I don't think its protectable. Maybe Victorinox will come after you next! http://www.calvintang.com/albums/gear/victorinox/victorinox-logo.gif BTW - a search of the US Trademarks shows several users of "red cross" that are NOT the American Red Cross - since you're not providing health related services, I think you could call yourselves Red Cross Time Management and still use the mark!
