We recently had someone comment on one of our blog articles and asking this question.
If I file
for a business name at the county courthouse, does this provide some
protection from others that might try to use that business name?
I thought this was a good question that others might like to know as well. To see the original article that brought up this question, check out the article Branding Strategy - Is Your Business Name Protected?
After talking to one of the IP Attorneys Brandwise uses we thought it might be wise for them to help clarify this question. So what does it take to get a Trademark and start Acquiring Rights?
