You should speak with an attorney about the specifics of trademarks for your business. There are state and federal forms of trademark protection that provide varying levels of protection, cost, and paperwork. Moreover, there are different protections for a product (a trademark) versus for a service (a servicemark).
Yahoo provides a small business guide to help answer your initial questions. Further, the US Patent & Trademark Office should be able to explain costs and fees associated with their different federal registrations. You will need to check your own state government for costs and fees associated with state filings. |

you dont trademark a business, you incorporate it. you trademark an idea or a product.
i think what you're looking for is how to incorporate your business so you're not held liable if someone sues you (they can't take your house or personal possessions)...also so that no one can steal your business name and it become more legit - ie: you can get an EIN number that will allow you to qualify for business loans, etc. |

This is a lengthy and potentially expensive time consuming process but ultimately could be worth it if you have a great product to protect. Find the best attorney you can and be prepared to pay and wait. This website also advertises online trademarking, although I have not had any experience with them or know much of their process: http://www.4trademark.com/ |

Paperwork is not bad just about 6 months if there are no discrepancies with another similar business. Cost now is around $7,000.00. I paid $6,000.00 3 years ago.
Good Luck!! |

Good goddess... I can't believe all the wrong answers and bad information on these posts.
Trademarks have nothing to do with the SEC, or the Department of Commerce. CPA's are definitely NOT trained and qualified to do this kind of work. Yes you could hire a lawyer, but if you are a small business owner you do not need to pay an attorney thousands of dollars to register a simple word or logomark, you can do it yourself.
Start reading: http://www.uspto.gov. Also, if you are near a large city, go find your local United States Small Business Administration (SBA) office. They have counselors and references that can help you get started on this. Trademark registrations are not difficult, and the USPTO is one of the most user-friendly government agencies around. |

you must be having a patent registering board in your country. Apply there. Next products are patented in Gibraltar for safety. no one will steal your design. write to the embassy/councilor |

Contact the US Patent and Trade Mark Office. They have a website and there you will find a phone number that you can call and they will send you a large packet of information and forms. It is not hard. Use Yahoo Search USPTO.GOV or Key Word, " Patent " |

There is a lot of inaccurate information ion t here. You do not trademark your business - you trademark a name of a product or service you provide, or a logo. It is the mark that identifies your trade. The mark has to be unique - you cannot trademark a common word or a general description of your product. The logo must not be similar to other logos.
The process is not too complicated or expensive (at least in Australia). It can be done on-line. |

I don't believe you get a business trademarked. I think you get a symbol or a logo or an advertising item trademarked, something that you want no one to be able to use like you use. For example, a can of coke will have Coca-Cola on it with a trademark or registered trademark symbol. You can say Coca-Cola but you can't use the name for advertising or put it on one of your drink products.
Do you mean you want a business incorporated? It's not very much $. There are some paperwork items to work through. |

Your C.P.A. (Certified Public Accountant) will be able to get this done for you, and the cost of doing this will depend on the size of your business. I am a Sole Proprietor and trademarking my business name is not necessary, but if I should ever want to, my accountant said that he would make me an "S Corp" (which would include the trademarking of my business name) for about $650.00. He also said that my business isn't large enough yet to consider it, so I should wait until I have more employees and earn more money. The benefits definitely are worth it...more write offs (such as vacations, employees moving expenses, etc...) |
