probably but we need more details. Who do you work for and what is the name of the product?
The reason I can't be 100% sure is that you may have a product name that has fallen into common useage. Thermos lost a lawsuit based on that concept several years back, in which some other vaccum bottle manufacturer called it a thermos. The court found that since "thermos" had entered the language to the extent that it had replaced "vaccum bottle" as a description, that their trademark was null and void. I seem to recall a similar situation with Kleenex, although most other companies still call their kleenexes "facial tissues."
If, however, you're talking about something like "Fender" guitars, the other company would be in violation because "fender" has not entered the language as a common synonym for "guitar."
