Naming a Company
from the crazy-methods dept
Fortune is writing about how companies choose names. Interesting stuff. My first complaint, though, is that they have the order wrong. Trust me, you check the domain name way before you do the trademark search. Also mentioned in the article is NameStorm.com, which is a site that will check the trademark, patent, and internic (assuming it still exists) databases for you. Pretty cool, though I'd wonder if they didn't store all the searches for their own use.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
