Hey everyone,

I’m starting up a simple used-textbook linking website (just like the bulletin boards around a university - but online). I’m hoping to expand it across the country if it all works out - should I register or trademark it? Or is it legit to just let it go as is (I am doing a bit of advertising on it with Adsense)?
