When you have an idea that can potentially change your life, the first thing you want to do is make sure someone doesn’t steal it from you. Sometimes that results in prematurely making investments you aren’t ready for. If you haven’t validated your idea and aren’t willing to do the work necessary to bring the idea to life, do not file for trademark registration. I mean if the mark you want to register isn’t associated with a good or service, not available in interstate commerce, and isn’t unique you don’t have a trademark anyway.
