Absolutely nothing. US laws give you automatic trademark protection under state and federal laws from the moment you become the first to use a distinctive trademark on particular goods or services in commerce, as an indication of source and quality. You may optionally register in one or more states or the USPTO, the latter being more expensive and complicated, but provides the basis for national an international protection as well. Federal application fees are found at USPTO.com, state fees are found in your Secretary of state's office.
