I'm guessing this could cost you $1500 a year -- but that is a real guess. And you need to be a business -- a sole prop or a subchapter S corp are your most likely choices -- depends on your finances. Things like soap are really hard to copyright or trademark unless you have something really revolutionary. And you must be ready to spend a LOT to defend these protections -- otherwise you are probably best not bothering. Good luck.

That is why recipies, for Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Perfumes, etc..are closely guarded, b/c if they go out, there is nothing that legally stops someone from producing the same thing, they just can't MARKET the product under the same name.
