This is good information to know because I have been afraid to start business until after I get the trademark. I already did the name search with USPTO and with the state where I live and the name is not in use. I own the domain name already, so is it safe to proceed in the following order:

1) Register my business as an LLC with the state 2) Get copyrights for my website content 3) Register the trademark after I build some revenue.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback
