 Need help starting out with TM's, Patents, and Copyrights.
A'ight, I got my clothing line coming out, but I'm starting with just plain tee's. The problem is I ain't too confident on what I know about Trademarks and stuff. So if it's not a problem, help me out.
What I need to know is:
-I got the name all figured out how do I get the trademark? Do I really gotta pay $400est. for it?
-I got a symbol for my brand too(ex.Nike's "swoosh"). How do I go about protecting that?
-I got a way to protect it from knockoff's being sold in Chinatown, and **** like that. I gotta patent this, right?
-I also got another name brand associated with my main name brand. Do I have to TM that too? |
