Mascot Rights

[thornbeast.livejournal.com]

I have recently had my mascot ripped off, and I am a tad concerned.
I would like to know if there is any way I can trademark my character to be my business mascot
My character is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6921917/
And the Watermark: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7270444/

I would also like to know how to file a DMCA to websites such as DeviantArt and FurAffinity

Thank you for your help.

Edit: This is for the character, not the species. Also, the journal on my FA page has nothing to do with this entree.

So..where's the link to the ripped off picture?

I am only asking for advice at this point, the issue had already been resolved

Gotcha. Should have mentioned that, haha.

I'm sorry but I have only asked for advice ^^;
I didn't feel details on what happened were too important for getting advice

[koisnake.livejournal.com]

Oh, ok! sorry about that!

I don't think this was meant to be a tracing post, just an advice post.

Sorry, didn't see you'd been answered already!
