right now i'm living off the state on unemployment. i was doing desktop support work. i believe that with so many layoffs, the need for support personnel has dropped off. my brother-in-law asked if...
Are you trademarked or are you merely "DBA?" In either case, I may have some questions for you of my own curiosity.
(note: i changed handles)
my company is a sole proprietership. if ur by urself, u can register as that, or an S corporation, or a regular corporation or a LLC. feel free to email me, or post.

Actually, I didn't mean what you registered as. Simple misunderstanding. What I meant was, did you trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, D.C. ..or did you just get a DBA ("Doing Business As") license through the county clerk's office? You see, I think I'm pretty sure that what I want is a sole proprietership. I probably wouldn't bother registering as anything else, unless it was a partnership, obviously (and it's not). It's just that I don't know about the specifics on going about setting it up, legally. Plus, I believe that after you file for a trademark, you have to try and sit still for roughly a whole year, before you hear word about its approval. How would I protect myself in the meantime, you know? I guess I would go for the DBA first, then file for the trademark.. that way the DBA holds me over for a year's time. Drop me an eZabel message to my personal inbox -- if you would -- with your e-mail address and/or AIM screenname (if you have one). Thanks.
