What is the difference between a Trade Name (DBA) and Trademark? Trademark Attorney Nyall Engfield explains how you need to register your business name as a DBA with the State Corporate Authority (usually Secretary of State, but it may be by County, as in California). Trademark would be separate protection for the names of the goods and services you are providing.

Nyall is a licensed trademark attorney (CA) and would be happy to answer any questions you have, in the comments or by email nyall@trademarkraft.com

TrademarKraft can help with all your trademark needs, including filing and examination (office actions) for a trademark application, to enforcement through cease and desist letter or Amazon Brand Registry.
