About creating a "Company" name.

Hello. I'd like to know about you who already created a brand to be behind your games, example Deep Blue Apps, and etc.

How is the proccess? You just started using that name or got a trademark? As the world is so big, it's a few complicated this step, as a trademark that is valid in a country won't be valid in another.

How to you deal with this?

I'm thinking about creating a trademark to use in my games, but I'm confuse about this. As I'm a single person and not a team, I don't have plans of creating a company specially for this. One of the reasons is that my revenue from games is low yet. I'm thinking about just creating a website, example: MyOwnApps.com and than make it like my "company" name. That would avoid some one from confusing my brand with any other brand, and even if another person register the trademark later, I would be protected, as it will be just a domain name.

I do you think?

just register a small business name, its usually pretty cheap, and make sure its not taken before you pick it. If you make a website and someone else copyrights that name, you wont be able to continue saying your games were made by "deep blue apps" or whatever.

@QuestionMan. The problem is that, registering a business name in Brazil, that's where I live, won't avoid someone from same other countrie, to use the same name.
