So I would presume the posters on the super serious fora are simply ignoring me. And so, I turn to you morons. So, I have a foolish idea. A most, most foolish idea that the Ambien keeps whispering in my in my ear: “No, do you it. Do it you damned fool, do it! A once in a lifetime opportunity and you want to consider. Sure, buddy; sure. Just piss it all away, why don't you?  ”I was trawling the US Patents and Trademark Database, as one does when one has not slept in a few days while waiting for the sedatives to kick in, and I discovered something of interest. I shall leave things vague. it’s a Name for a Thing that I very much like and that Name has not been used by anyone in the last century for any purpose even approaching the Thing, and so, it would seem that quite anyone might snag the Name for the Thing. Well, now, as my mind grows cloudy and I find it hard remembering what I read even after just reading it, I see to registered the trademark on the Name should only cost, what, $250? $350? I’m not clear, but neither of those numbers make me pause, so pressing on… The Thing was last made more than a century ago, and it was made by an incorporated business for the production of a the Thing. Can you just addend “Inc.” to your DBA or is that not legal? Seems to me that oughtn’t be allowed. Anyway, another rabbit hole I must jump down… I see incorporating a business in my state is actually cheaper than forming an LLC--only $145 with an annual Report of another $85. I don’t know what that mean, but near as I can tell, what are we up to now? $395? $495? Fine and dandy. I don’t start hearing whoop, whoop, pull up! warnings reverberating in my skull until I surpass $500. So, you clear-headed and non-drug-addled advisors so helpfully posting on Forums Dot Something Awful Dot Com, tell me this: Am I’m I reading this right and will it be about $400 plus another $85 a year? But, would my resurrected Name business need to, you know, produce the Thing or indeed conduct any sort business at all? Get a website, maybe drop ship tchotchkes with the Name… I’d not really given it much thought. Maybe make the Thing, one day, ludicrously small volumes. I’m getting woozy and need to wrap this up. Are there any additional fees? Like I said, I don’t mind blowing $500, maybe even $1000, to set things up and then $100, perhaps $150, or so every year after that. But I’d not like to spend any more on a lark. In fact, I can’t. Whenever I’m on the bean, I child lock myself out of anything too extravagant. I’m only out for a lark to amuse myself owning a bit of history that made me smile once. Text is getting all swimmy and I can’t maintain a train of thought. Need to sign out now. Serious answers please. Maybe there are some, I don’t know, accountants here or whatever it is I mean. Professionals in whatever the hell this is. Or answers calling me a dumbass, which I suspect are serious enough. Going to bed now. But tell me, do, how stupid am I for considering this and what unknown landmine are buried in this field that I’m running pell-mell through. Good night, sweet princes, and tia. P.S. God, I’d forgotten forms. How many can I expect and how involved are they? P.PS. Stay off the bean, kiddos. At best, it’s the surest way to wake up with $1000-$5000 worth of eBay junk over the next few days that you have zero recollection at all of buying. At its worse, you’ve got several broken bones and burned down part of you house.

I’m no legal expert OP, but I’m pretty sure you want an LLC so that if the original makers of the thing and owners of the name try to sue you, they can’t take your personal assets.

Am I on uppers? Heaven forfend! Only sedatives that often fail me. But for those who were confused by my vagueness, let me make it a touch clearer: Once upon a time, in the early 1920s, there was a movie studio. We’ll call it the Crackerjack Film Manufacturing Company. It closed up shop in 1923, stopped defending the trademark and it is now listed as abandoned. Additionally, no one else has registered the name Crackerjack that deal in anything remotely connected to film. Acquiring the trademark would be little enough money. But the name! Crackerjack Film Manufacturing Inc. So, now, I’m looking into the feasibility of incorporating it. The business would not do anything or sell anything probably ever. But, you see, I would be tickled simply to own it. I’m sure it will cost me, but if it’s not for too, too much, that’s fine.
