According to a basic trademark search, it appears the word is taken but "technically", it's "SmallBiz Payroll."
That may be a very stupid question but I'm 100% unsure about this stuff. I plan on using a service like LegalZoom anyway to do this stuff for me (unless people here would recommend something better). I'm a software developer, definitely not educated on law in any sense except unfortunate prior experience with the criminal side.
Is it important that it uses both words? Also, it appears that it's a payroll service and not software. I remember reading something a long time ago that it only matters if the trademark is in the same industry as yours. Is this true? Since mine is software, and theirs is a service, and my software (small business management software) isn't exactly related to just payroll?
