Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Your band name does not have to be the same as the name of your business, and you can market a brand without using it as the name of your business, but if you want to use the brand name to operate your business you may have to file a "doing business as" certificate. It also sounds as if you want to have your brand name protected as a registered trademark, and may also (depending on what your logo is) want to get coipyright protection. You should consult a local attorney who specializes in intellectual property issues.
