Learning about trade names and trademarks. More specifically 'service marks' which is what an artist would be providing given the circumstances of how music works. You provide a service of entertainment, to the public hence the 'service' within the terminology. It's going to cost a lot of money to make sure that the stage name I have decided for myself is not going to be used, it's also going to take time to get some attention towards it.
However, I am adamant about going with 'The Phantom Songwriter', it just has a good flow to me. So, I'm going to have to find a way to get the appropriate funding and plan this all out the correct way. The first couple of methods will require me using upwards of two thousand dollars, which I can do...but I need to wait and plan this out so that this is all secure.
After achieving the trademark, from there I just have to copyright my music using a couple recording and we should be in business. I'll then feel safe about putting stuff on the internet of me singing some of my original music that I have come up with.
Everything takes time, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating.
I'm hoping no one else beats me to the punch and does all of this before I get a chance to patent what I've come up for myself.
Did work on trademark stuff tonight, I'll look into copyrighting my lyrics tomorrow.
