My friends and I are going to make a clothing brand and I was wondering how to copyright my name for cheap and if my brand name was already taken.

It cost more money than you'd expect... I think mid triple digits.
300 USD?
Also, you don't copyright a name, you get a trademark for it.

I expected like 500...
300 seems like a good price.

Though i think you are going to need a lawyer (maybe), their might be processing fees, you might have to put a down payment then get denied and loose all your money. (and will have to redo it)
I have never reigstered a trademark, i dont know.

The fee for a basic registration on Form CO is $45.
http://www.copyright.gov/register/
you can do it online. and they check. if there is nothing relations with other works and you can prove its an original made from you it will be registered.
but you dont really copyright the brand, you copyright the products as a brand.
