Legal Question in Business Law in New York

I think all you can do at this point is to discuss your plans and objectives over with a lawyer in detail to see about a best course of action.

You are going to want to set up a proper business structure before you start transacting any business especially in what I perceive as a high liability enterprise like medical supplies. You are also going to want a good business liability policy in place as well.

Further, before you start spending any money in support of your trademark (advertising, marketing, branding, PR packaging, etc.) you will first want to properly clear the TM and have an application filed with the USPTO. And as you mentioned, you will need some attention on your business agreements.

The other threshold issue, which is probably the first order of business is making sure there are no legal compliance hoops to walk though. For example, specific permits or licenses required to do what you intend.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
