Hello. I have a name for my website, it's been growing massively lately but I don't have any legal rights to the name so basically someone can go and make another site with the same name. Is there any way I can copyright or trademark this website name so no other companies can use it?

Thanks.

Hi Bart,

Registering a trademark is a long, drawn-out, and very very confusing process. I don't recommend doing it alone.

My long-time attorney has recently begun offering advanced trademark and branding services. I can recommend him quite highly as I have used him for years.

You can check out his trademark services at www.trademarkpower.com.

FYI, he's out of town until January 23rd, so if you e-mail him he probably won't get back to you until the 24th.

Good luck,

Jason
