If you run a business in Spring Hill
General Motors lists its Spring Hill Manufacturing plant at 100 Saturn Parkway in Spring Hill, where it builds internal combustion and electric vehicles on one assembly line, with the Cadillac XT5, XT6, LYRIQ and VISTIQ as its products. The company’s facility listing gives 1990 as the year the plant opened. That entry lists the facility type as vehicle assembly and propulsion and describes no research or engineering work, so it tells you where a large manufacturer sits, not what it protects.
Protecting a brand name and logo
Tennessee also takes state registrations: a trademark or service mark can be registered with the Secretary of State, Division of Business Services, by a signed application sent with the filing fee to the office at 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue, Nashville, TN 37243. The Secretary of State says a state registration lasts five years from the date of filing and can be renewed for further five year periods, and renewal opens six months before the registration expires.
Protecting methods, lists and know how
Tennessee has its own Uniform Trade Secrets Act for misappropriation of trade secrets under state law. This page does not describe what counts as a trade secret or how a state claim is brought, and an attorney can walk you through both for your business.
Employees, contractors and noncompete agreements
In Tennessee, a separate statute covers noncompetes of health care providers. An attorney should confirm the current rule for the kind of work involved. Bring any agreement you have signed, or plan to ask someone to sign, to that conversation.

Which federal court lists Maury County and Williamson County
The United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee lists Maury County under its Columbia listing, and its pages give 815 South Garden Street, Columbia, TN 38401 for it. It lists Williamson County under its Nashville listing, with 719 Church Street, Nashville, TN 37203 given for it. The lists show how the court sorts counties, not where a case can go.
Local programs for owners
The Spring Hill Business Tax Office is at City Hall, 199 Town Center Parkway, and the city’s license page, which sits under the city’s Finance pages, says a separate county business tax license is also required. The page says Spring Hill is located in both Maury County and Williamson County. It lists an initial license fee of $15.00. The Spring Hill Chamber of Commerce has its office at 5326 Main Street, Suite G, and its economic development page describes Spring Hill Insider as a community orientation program with resource pages welcoming new businesses and their employees. A question about who owns a brand or a method belongs with an attorney.
Common questions from Maury County and Williamson County owners
Where does a Tennessee LLC register?
Tennessee businesses file new business and annual report paperwork through the online TNCaB account system of the Secretary of State. In 2015 the Secretary of State’s Division of Business Services announced online filing of assumed names, meaning a name other than the legal name under which a business transacts business.
