To register a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the registrant must be using it in commerce already. The trademark must be used for a product or service that crosses state, national or territorial lines, or affects commerce crossing such lines. Even if the owner of the mark files an intent-to-use (ITU) trademark application, the trademark will not be registered until it is used in commerce.

20 ways to stretch your marketing budget (and increase your sales)
1) Don’t use three sales letters, when one will do
Get a ‘boiler plate’ sales letter written, which can then be adapted for potential customers, existing customers and lapsed customers.
2) Use ‘PR friendly’ magazines
Some magazines are more receptive to press releases than others. Find out who they are, and target those. More of your press releases will be used, meaning more publicity for your company.

Going Public - IPO (Initial Public Offering)
by Peter Nunes d’Agrella
Public markets used to be available only to larger companies with a long history of profitability. Nowadays a variety of companies with varying degrees of profitability and revenue growth may be candidates for public financing depending mainly on future prospects. Access to capital growth through public markets offers greater access to capital, but many promising small companies cannot obtain funding because they are private. Without funding though, they can’t hope to grow to the size and scale that would allow them to go public. Because of this hopeless cycle, many will turn to venture capitalists, angel investors, bank loans or SBA secured loans for that initial cash injection. And then the road to going public may be opened.
If the company has never sold stock before it is known as an Initial Public Offering (IPO). A company can only have one Initial Public Offering (IPO).
