I have a Facebook page for my business that was suspended because I was accused of "impersonating any business, celebrity, or public figure." The page shares the same name as a well-known TV show, but it predates the show, and I have a valid U.S. trademark. Unfortunately, I cannot reach Facebook by email, phone, or chat. I have filed two appeals with their intellectual property section, but both times I received the same response:
"Thanks for your message. Our team handles intellectual property issues (e.g., copyright, trademark), but it looks like you need help with something else."
I'm unsure if I can afford to hire a lawyer. If I decide to sue, which state would I need to file in? I'm in New Jersey, but would I have to sue in California? I'm feeling completely lost.
WARNING: Facebook can and will disable your page without any warning or notice, and they may not reactivate it even with a U.S. trademark.
