We trademarked the name March 3rd 1998
with our first uses of the name SPIRAL
for our band back in 1996.
If you do get signed, the record company will NOT let you use a name unless
it is trademarked.
Also, it protects you because you own the name for the use of it as a band
name with all the media needs that apply.
So please, trademark your name if you are serious.
We are, and we did.
Often you can add a word to SPIRAL and still have your fans recognize you,
while not violating our trademark use.
The name SPIRAL is regestered to us: for Entertainment services, namely live
performances by a musical group of
original composisitons enhanced by muilti media presentations for cultural,
artistic, and entertainment purposes,
in class 41 (International Class - U.S. CLS. 100, 101, and 107).
Let us know if you have any questions.. we love to help felllow spiral-heads.
We wish you the
best of everything and much success in life as well as in music.
peace
