I did a quick search for "Life Response" at the USPTO website and the only trademark I found was this one:

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4010:8n...

for "Life Response" owned by Midwest Medical Alert Systems, Inc. CORPORATION ILLINOIS 269 Winding Creek Drive Naperville ILLINOIS 60565.

The weird thing is, the business using the http://www.liferesponseusa.com domain is "Life Response USA" and they're a division of CTR Alarm Systems Inc. --- a Pennsylvania Corporation. So that's odd: not the same company as the trademark holder?

More research is needed.

That's the one.

I would make the guess that liferesponseusa.com is not the same business, based on the different addresses you brought up. I wonder if they're looking at a similar situation with the trademark holder.

Check out "Health Sentry". There's a 1999 application that was cancelled in 2007, so maybe you could file for it and it's a good term.

Thanks again bugsy. I'll look into this.

I'd review the relevant trademark laws before believing a third party. Get an attorney if you still aren't sure. Question everything.
