one more question?

[roblo]

I've been researching on trademarks and according to my source the use of a trademark is for the intent of business, commerce and I have to prove such activity in order to register. At my present stage, I only want to use a trademark for promotional purposes(i.e. my nickname), not for the intent of selling a brand and making a profit. so my question is will my trademark be registered even if I can't prove that I'm selling anything under the name or should i even bother filing for one if thats the case?... If my information is wrong please inform me more about trademarks, any references are appreciated.

You need to file an intent to use if you don't plan on using it for interstate commerce immediately. You don't need to make a profit, just that you are engaging in transactions over state lines and it's easy to do, even if just for small amounts.
