I
looked into this specific field &
posted the links I came across -- hope
they're helpful to you! Most are associations;
there are associations specific to country
or even state. Do a search for [insert
state name] film production association,
if interested.
Prior
to investing your time, money & effort
into a business name, it is strongly advised
that comprehensive research be conducted
to ensure that the name you're interested
in is truly available.
This
entails searching the pending & registered
Federal and State trademark files as well
as the US National Common-Law files. Then,
if clear, you can decide if you would
like to file for a Federal or a State
trademark.
Research
is needed to make sure your trade name
is legally available, before opening,
before expansion, before incorporation
or before designing your logo. Similarities
in sound, appearance and meaning affect
you too!
There
are 16+ million trade names in use in
the United States. Similar names matter,
if close in sound, appearance or meaning.
Similar names in related classes, distribution
channels and customer matter too. You
are affected by Common Law use (14 million),
State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal
Trademarks (2 million).
