Trade name filing assistance

I performed multi-state and federal searches to collect authoritative guidance (state government pages, county clerk pages, USPTO, SBA) about trade name/DBA/fictitious name filing across U.S. jurisdictions.

I collected state-specific filing authorities, typical fees, publication and renewal rules, timing, distinctions between DBAs and trademarks, and practical compliance steps. The citations below include verbatim excerpts from official sources and high-quality government pages that will support creating comprehensive blog and newsletter content focused on compliance, regulations, and practical guidance for U.S. business owners and LLC founders.
