FAQ

To register a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), you will need to fill out and submit a trademark application. You can do this online, using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), an online trademark filing service, or you can submit a paper application.

4. Should you get an LLC first or trademark? Yes, you should get an LLC first before a trademark because the trademark application will need to identify the LLC as the trademark owner. You should create an LLC or business entity before you file a trademark application.

So, the LLC MUST exist before the trademark is filed. Every trademark has an owner, and the owner is usually the person or business that is using it. LLC comes first when you want to use the trademark for your business, and you're going to form an LLC because the LLC will be the owner of the trademark.

The short answer is no, you do not. But you do need to use it in traditional places where a company name would be found in order to enjoy the limited liability.

The best strategy is to think about trademarks from the very beginning—ideally, when you're choosing your business name and logo and forming your business entity. Your business name can form the core of your brand, and it can also create serious trademark issues.
