 A company in Massachusetts says it trademarked the name “Rail Runner” in the nineties. And now they want New Mexico to stop using it.
"Rail Runner Incorporated filed what's called an opposition to the use of New Mexico Rail Runner on September 2, 2006 with the trademark trial and appeal board of the U.S Patent and Trade Mark Office," said a spokesman for the East Coast company.
The company makes a machine that they say makes it easier to move containers from trains to semis.
The East Coast company is now waiting for a decision from the patent and trademark office.
As of right now, there has been no talk of a lawsuit.
Rail Runner officials say both sides are talking and they hope they can come to an agreement to keep everyone happy.
