Trademark my clothing line even if I'm just getting started?

[golding]

what are the pros and cons? I don't have much money, but if it's really necessary I could find a way to pay for it.

Can I change the name of my company down the road? I ask this cause I read some big companies changed their names back in the day a couple of times like nike and puma.

The name of a company can usually be changed by filing a simple form in the office where the business obtained its registration. There may be a small fee.

A trademark is not the same as a business name. Trademark ownership is free. Registration is optional.
