Default Re: How to get situated?

I think someone has mentioned it being around $400 to trademark. No, DBA has nothing to do with trademark.

I dont know for you guys, but here in Canada it will cost you about 550$ and will take a minimum of 14 months. But of course, they did all the research for you...

I was looking for a topic.. instead of starting one.

- Where is the cheapest place online to trademark your name? (cost?)

- Can I actually print shirts with my name on major sites? ( I have an offer from a site, they liked my logo ) BUT I havent even started... can I go on major sites without a trademark? Is that smart.

- Do I trademark the name seperately - with a seperate logo? OR do I trademark the name... then copyright the logo seperately?

- How much does it cost to Copyright a Logo & Where do I do this (site)?

If you're going to post new questions, you should start a new topic.

But before you start the new topic, you should check to see if the questions have already been posted by using the search at the top of the page (all the questions you asked have been answered several times in past discussions...it may just take some time to read through and find the answers )
