'InspireME' stays with trainer

'InspireME' stays with trainer: "I want people to come in and say, 'Inspire me,' and they do. They like the name,' she said. 'It's about the relationship between me and the client.'
She was none too thrilled to learn about a month ago that Jobs for Maine Graduates, a private, nonprofit group set up by the state 12 years ago, was undergoing a name change and was now to be known as 'InspireME.'
Philip Thibodeau, a spokesman for the organization, said Jobs for Maine Graduates had searched to make sure no other private, nonprofit group was going by InspireME.
The law is hazy, he said, but it appears that two entities could use the same name as long as they're not in the same economic sector. In other words, a private nonprofit and a private for-profit may be able to operate under the same name. At the very least, the secretary of state's office didn't suggest a search beyond other private nonprofits, Thibodeau said."
