How do i make sure no one copies my car club name?Trademark?

Answer 1

first off, obtain the dot com, dot net, dot org so no one can.

then if you want to fully legal, yes you can patent or trademark it. but a small law that few know of, called "first use" law.

meaning, if you make the name today, even without a patent, and say next year someone else makes the name and patents it, you are still the legal owner as all you have to do is show proof you had it first.

I had to do this for one of my biz's, guy tried to use my name but I had been in biz for 8 yrs at that point, he was shut down over night.

avg patent, trademark, properly done thru an attorney, only way to go, runs $650-$1100 on average.

Answer 2

Yes. Obtaining a legal trademark is the only way to legally protect others from using the same name.
