1.) Im looking to register an LLC but I found an LLC with the same name in Michigan while I live in Florida. Do I have to come up with a new name?
2.) I would like to do business as the name itself (ex. facebook) instead of (facebook llc). Do I have to file a separate trade name application or a do business as?
3.) If I operate as XYZ LLC and sell my products as XYZ, is it infringing copyrights and intellectual property of the XYZ LLC in Michigan?
4.) What sort of steps do I have to take to make sure no one uses my name (ex. Only Chrysler LLC can use the Chrysler name)
Im trying to make sense of all the legal jargon so I can start my business off correctly. Im looking to sell graphic design clothing through the internet and wholesale. Its an area where the name of the brand, product and company is very important. I just need to know what steps I should take to protect my name, company, brand, logo and designs. Any help is really appreciated, preferrably from business owners. Thanks!
