Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Ohio

Re: Tradename Registration

1. You make sure you are using the name in commerce between the states (Canada is NOT a state; New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Iowa are states) as an identifier of the unique source of goods/services.

2. You make sure that the name you have chosen does not infringe anyone else's trademark or service mark.

3. You apply to the US Patent and Trademark Office for trademark registration.

I handle trademark registrations on a regular basis and would be happy to discuss handling yours. Please give my office a call at your convenience to discuss how I can best serve your trademark needs. That you are in Ohio and I am in New York makes little difference except that it is less likely that we would meet face-to-face, but for trademark registration work the client generally does not actually need to lay eyes on the lawyer.
