    Get your trade mark first if your name is popular because you can get the LLC and not even be able to use by the time you file.
    Trade mark your name, but still create the business FIRST. Make sure you use it, like she said, then get that LLC because then you can confirm it has the right name.
    That’s what I got from this for me (:

    I was told that there's no point in forming an LLC if there's no revenue to protect considering the nature of an LLC is to utilize the limited liability function. Once you gain traction commercially you should definitely form an LLC or you'll just end up paying taxes and fees without the revenue to support your overhead

I have a name and logo that I want to get trademarked, that I've been using since 2019. I've registered my business as an LLC, but In 2021, I noticed another clothing brand using my EXACT same name, and they've even taken my domain. How can I go about getting my name back? Do I just file for the trademark? I've researched and the name isn't on the USPTO site,

    i’m confused at 10:00 where you said even if you’ve filed your trademark let’s say you take a pause on business, it won’t go through a s a trademark bc you haven’t technically promoted it or done business using the TM name? so essentially you need proof of actually using the TM on like your clothing brand or business in order for it to be legally considered as a legitimate TM?

I’m not an attorney so I can’t offer you legal advice, but I will say from my experience of starting my company and brand that it’s a slow start and I would be highly surprised if someone tried to infringe on my logo or anything pertaining to my brand right now as I haven’t gotten the exposure just yet that would warrant that type of attention. I will be getting my logo trademarked soon but in my experience filing an “intent to use” before introducing my brand wasn’t necessary. Hope this helps and well wishes in all of your business ventures!
