You might also want to trademark your business name or domain name to protect it. You can trademark on a national or statewide level. To register your business as a local trademark, contact the Secretary of State’s office in your area. To register as a national trademark, you will need to contact the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (www.uspto.gov).

They also have a search engine (Trademark Electronic Search System, or TESS) that can help you determine if the name has already been trademarked.
IP PROTECTION

Companies, such as IP Protection (ipprot.com), will register your trademark for you for a reasonable price (as low as $500).
