Check out website for Trademark infomation: http://www.uspto.gov/
use trade mark for NAMES, LOGOS, and otherthings that cant be copyrighted.
NOTE: take LOTS OF MONEY!

If you want more info, try the graphic Artists guild web site. Most of the info is in the book ( I live by this book) Pricing and Ethical Guidelines
http://www.gag.org
They have buttloads of info pertaining to artists rights and the such.
Great stuff.
Have you heard of these people before zapman? If not, drop by, some great info.

Zap,
Similar to copyrights, one can have a certain amount of commonlaw rights to a mark. The amount of right to a mark you have is based on how and where you used it.
So, it does take money to file a trademark, but filing doesn't necessarily give you allot that you don't have already. However, to have a trademark "registered" so that you can use the circle"r", you have to file.
