Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

In certain jurisdictions, you can reserve a potential company's name with the secretary of state. Furthermore, in general, you may register a Federal trademark if have a bona-fide intent to use the name in interstate commerce sometime in the near future. Finally, you may be able to register the name with states individually for intra-state protection, although a Federal registration would supersede any state registrations.

If you have any further questions feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience.

Reserving a name with a state commercial recording office (i.e., Secretary of State) does NOT create any right to use a name or preclude others from using a name. Limited, regional common law trade name/trademark will arise merely by using a name or mark in commerce. Federal Trademark registration will likely grant the greatest degree of protection. State trademark registration is typical of nominal value.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.

The wisest move would be to contact a tax and business attorney to set up a limited liability company in the state where you are going to do business.Once you are are actually in business, it is possible to establish a trade name or trademark depending upon your circumstances.

You should immediately contact a tax business attorney to get specific advice.

I hope this helps!
