Building Your Business One Piece At A Time: The Name Game

Picking a name for your business can often times be a lot more complicated than one may think. There are many aspects that you should consider before choosing a name for your business. Ask yourself:

What industry am I in?

*Is this name unique?

*Is this name memorable?

*Is it easy to spell?

*Is someone else already using this name?

*What do I want my name to communicate?

*Is the domain name already taken?

You want to be able to brand yourself and a great name will help you achieve that goal. Once you've come up with a couple options its a good idea to consult a professional on whether your name will be able to obtain trademark registration.

Although you may be dealing with a startup budget, registering for a trademark is a great investment. A trademark attorney will be able to provide an extensive trademark search to determine whether the name is already registered or being used through out interstate commerce. You don't want to run the risk of infringing on another's trademark. This could potentially lead to you having to change your name. The stress and the loss of money put into that name is worth a lot more than the cost of performing the proper searches.

Federal Trademark registration gives you national trademark protection, puts competitors on notice, allows you to recover statutory damages, may entitle you to attorney's fees, and becomes incontestable after 5 years.

In this entrepreneurial world, branding has become one of the most valuable assets for individuals and companies. Your name will inspire customer loyalty and promote the goodwill of your business. Build your empire today, starting with your name.

Walk MS 2010

Atlas Law Group is registered for Walk MS and would like it if you would join my team or show your support by giving a donation. The 2-3 mile walk takes place on Saturday April 10th at UCI. Please Join Atlas Law Group in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis.


In April, I will be joining thousands of walkers at Walk MS 2010, benefiting the Pacific South Coast Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. By joining my team, you are taking the first crucial step towards creating a world free of MS.

Walk MS is a great chance for us to come together for a fun-filled event while making a tremendous difference in the lives of those with multiple sclerosis. We will walk together at one of three Walk MS sites, along a terrific route chosen to show off the beauty of Orange and San Diego counties!

The National MS Society helps people by funding research to find the cause and cure for this disabling disease and by offering services to those affected by MS. MS is the most common neurological disease leading to disability in young adults, and typically diagnosed in the prime-of-life years, ages 20-50, though an estimated 8,000-10,000 children under the age of 18 also live with MS. You can help me help them by joining my team today!

Verizon & Red Bull Violate Olympic Rules by Tweeting

The Olympic Rules strictly state that if you are not one of the official sponsors, then they may not associate themselves with the Games. Apparently, Verizon, Red Bull, or any other like company would have to pay tens of millions of dollars to show their support for the Games on twitter.

Although the penalties are vague I'm sure the U.S Olympic Committee will put an end to what they call "ambush marketing."
