First Financial Trademark and Domain Ownership
Owner: Kenneth Vern Bolam
U.S. Federal Trademark: FIRST FINANCIAL (Reg. No. 3532314, IC 036 – Banking and Financial Services)
Official Domain: firstfinancial.com (Priority Status Since 1995)
About the Trademark and Domain
Although “First Financial” was once considered a generic term, the registration of the domain firstfinancial.com in 1995 provided verifiable evidence of first use in commerce. Combined with the federal trademark registration, this establishes **Kenneth Vern Bolam’s** enforceable rights and seniority over later confusingly similar marks within the relevant class.
In accordance with the **Lanham Act**, this seniority acts as a definitive legal bar to junior applicants seeking registration for the unqualified standalone mark in financial sectors.
