What most owners assume
Thinking trademarks are only for big brands feels safe... until a big brand files your name first.
"My LLC protects my name."
An LLC registers your company in one state. It doesn't give you trademark rights in your business name.
"I own the .com."
A domain is a web address. Owning it doesn't stop someone else from using or registering your name.
"I was here first."
Using a name first can give you some rights, but usually only where you already do business. A federal registration covers the whole country.
