[Hidden-tech] trademark help needed

[Maria Korolov (Trombly)]

To open a bank account under your business name in Massachusetts all you
need is a DBA ("doing business as"). It cost about $10 or $15 to get one
from my town clerk when I did this last summer.

My company is a single proprietorship, though -- it might be different with
more complex corporate structures.
