I'm overthinking this. Someone knock some sense into me. I am largely ignorant of trademark issues.

I have come up with a new term for the service my agency provides. A tagline, a catchphrase, that kind of thing.

I want to trademark it.

Do I file the trademark under my company, in which I have a partner and we still occasionally discuss the possibility of going our separate ways (Likely won't happen, but we don't know the future. I don't want to discuss how to "fix" it. I just want trademark advice )

Or do I file the trademark under a separate entity that is mine? If this, then how does the trademark application get affected by the fact that my joint company is already using the term?
