Trademark - Personal or Corporate Ownership?

I am starting up a small business and I will be filing a federal trademark shortly. Should I file it under my own name or that of my corp? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

Thanks!

Re: Trademark - Personal or Corporate Ownership?

It depends on many factors, e.g., the connection between the TM and the corp.; the similarity (if any) between the TM and the corporate name; whether you want the TM to be a corporate asset; etc. Please call me at 800-872-8368 to discuss.
