Legal Question

[Jason Christenson]

I've decided to try to make a little money doing this. Actually, not turning so much as refinishing. I have a name in mind that I would like to use for my little business and I am wondering if there is something I should do to protect it before I make it public by putting it on business cards or something like that? Any input will be appreciated.

I would get a business license then try for a registered trade mark. My slogan for my company is a Registered TM. "What you listen to is your business, what you hear is ours":D As you probably guessed I'm in the audio business.

What's the first step in doing that?

Everything you ever wanted to know about patents and trademarks. Boink "Trademarks" on the left menu.
