You will need to submit documents to US Patent Office. I suggest you obtain legal counsel to assist you. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
Re: Protecting my business logo
You should file a trademark with the US Patent & Trademark office. The costs are about $335. Their website can be helpful at uspto.gov. Also, you should begin using your trademark ASAP & often, so anyone claiming rights to it will have to prove it was theirs first. Please contact us with any other questions. Good luck.
