What is the name of your state? Colorado
I am just about to set up a limited liability company. I will be the only member of the company, which I am setting up to provide computer training to older adults, especially senior citizens. I finally thought of a name, and searched for it in the US Patents & Trademarks website. Someone trademarked the same name several years ago. She registered it when living in Utah, which is what the registration still shows as her contact info, but now lives and does business in Oregon. She also has a website registered with the name of the business as a .com. Her business is coaching, training, supporting managers and employees in businesses. She has clients nationwide.
I plan to do business in Colorado only, and likely will start out as an independent contractor working through other established companies in Colorado. I have been advised to set myself up as some sort of entity so I can be paid in the name of the entity, instead of in my own name.
Can I use the same name for my company at all, in any form? For example, if the name of her company is WeDo4You (TM), can I use that name at all in my company name? What if my company name is WeDoForYou? What if my company name is WeDoForYouing? Or WeDo4You Computer Training? Or WeDo4You Technologies? (You get the idea.)
I've checked for businesses registered in Colorado--no other company is registered in Colorado as WeDo4You as a limited liability company, or any other type of company.
Thanks in advance for your help.
