About Mad Squid Productions®
One Man
Mad Squid Productions® is the brainchild of just one U.S. Navy veteran. I dabble in all things creative, but I identify as a filmmaker. I've been doing this for 20+ years.
Created 2003 in Washington, D.C.
When I firs left the U.S. Navy I moved to Fairfax, VA to work for the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). It was there that I created the concept of the Mad Squid brand. I sent out my very first business email to a group of musicians who I met in a Virginia Wendy's one night as a result of getting lost on my way to a Navy buddy's house. I moved back to Colorado before we could do any work together, but this was definitely the beginning of MSP!
Founded in 2005 in Colorado
I filed my first trade name protection with the State of Colorado in 2005. Over the years the name registration has expired twice, but I have always gone back to renew when I had the money. Verification of this is easy to find the Colorado Secretary of State's website, using the "business search" tool.
USPTO Registered Mark
I registered my trade name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in 2022. I am now both federally protected and protected at the state level in Colorado. "Mad Squid Productions" is mine, and mine alone.
