Has anyone outhtere trademarked their name ?
ALso is there anyplace a person can see if a name is trademrked for free ? Everysource I go to either wants a couple of hundred up to 1k. Went to the us goverment and they wanst 20bucks for a disc in the mail.
Have typed our name into search engines and keeps coming back to me if at all
Reason I asked. My brother-in law has a fairly good size nursery biz, has for 8 years. was recently sent a letter to quit using his business name because someone else has it trademrked in a boardering state, but is trademerked nationwide
he now has to change his name, and reocginition he has earned. I dont want to work for years only to be told to quit using the name.
so it has me nervou

Go to the http://www.uspto.gov It's the Patent and Trademark website and I think they have all the trademarks listed, ikf they don't then you have to ask a trademark lawyer to do a search for you.
