Starting a Business - 25

Naming Your Business in NY Part IV
A search with the Department of State only gives you information in NY. In order to protect yourself from unknowingly infringing on another company’s rights, you should also consider running a national trademark search to ensure no one else in the US is using the name or one that is similar to the name you want to use. If you are set on a name that some one else is using, although not in NY, you should consider seeking legal advice to explore whether conducting business under the name may infringe on another company’s rights. Once you decide on a logo, you should also run a search on the logo.
Note: if you are not ready to complete the papers to form your corporation or LLC, you may file an Application for Reservation of Name with the Department of State. An Application for Reservation of Name holds the name for 60 days and may be extended twice for additional periods of 60 days.
