does it protect it countrywide Khaleef?

Actually, I'm not sure about that. Since I'm registered in NJ, that's all I cared about at the time, but I really need to check on that.

I never thought of this. I do put a copyright disclaimer on my blog but I haven't officially trademarked anything. Should I? Is this a fee I should pay? Not sure.

But if not, then why bother going through the paperwork, and just enjoy the blogging experience?

Also, it might be interesting to learn about trademarking certain sayings or phrases associated with your blog. For example, the Yakezie tagline "Selflessly Helping Others" is unique to the site.

 

My blog isn't at that point yet where I need to focus on logo and tagline trademarking, but I'm also interested in learning more about these types of issues at FINCON11.

The legal aspects to operating a blog don't get enough attention. Thanks for bringing this up.

 

I don't actually have a logo, but my banner is not trademark protected. I would start with this resource:

I'm looking forward to learning more about blog legalities at FINCON from Mark Patterson, blogger at Mr Tough Money Love. He's a lawyer!

In NJ, it's only $50 to register a servicemark or trademark.

If you have a logo, is it trademarked?

 

If so, do you have any advice for me on searching to make sure no one is using the trademark and for getting  a logo trademarked/
