"trademarking" a non-profit name

Discussion:
I have established a .org website to display information on a non-profit basis. I live in California.
There is no formal or formed Organization behind the site.
It is not, nor will it, trade.
Do I need to trademark, patent or copyright the name to protect it and/or prevent a (for profit) company from using it?
If so, what is a good website that can assist me cheaply but reliably?
Thanks!
Answer:
For some odd reason, no one wants to tackle a question like this. It's similar to a "stage name" question I asked a few days ago.
Later,
Kelly
Answer:
To both of you, I would suggest you visit the below site and spend a few hours doing the necesary research. Or go hire a patent and copyright attorney. The rules and regulations are immense and would require a complicated answer that most do not have the time to do on this board. Good luck.
