Q: Can I trademark my DJ/music producer name as intent to use.
Im getting started in the music industry as a dj and I figured out a name that was available in all social media and the .com Can I trademark it?
A:
Yes - if you are not actually performing under that name yet a good practice is to file on an "Intent to Use" basis, until such time as you are actually using the name. If you can show that you are actually performing under the name now, you can skip the Intent part, and go right to registration based on "actual use," which will save you $100 in registration fees.
