How do i get a trademark / copy right for my company?

What you want to do is register a trademark at the United States Patent & Trademark Office. They have a web site at uspto.gov. Instructions for searching for prior similar trademarks and for filing for a unique trademark of your own are at the site. Unlike patents, for which they recommend hiring an attorney, you can register a trademark yourself. One key thing - if you have a company, incorporated in the state where you live, you will want the company to own the trademark, and you yourself to own the company. It is advisable to incorporate so that any debts your company has do not automatically become yours personally.
