CHAT Filing a trademark

[BizyDad]

I'm overthinking this. Someone knock some sense into me. I am largely ignorant of trademark issues.

I have come up with a new term for the service my agency provides. A tagline, a catchphrase, that kind of thing.

I want to trademark it.

Do I file the trademark under my company, in which I have a partner and we still occasionally discuss the possibility of going our separate ways (Likely won't happen, but we don't know the future. I don't want to discuss how to "fix" it. I just want trademark advice )

Or do I file the trademark under a separate entity that is mine? If this, then how does the trademark application get affected by the fact that my joint company is already using the term?

Are you saying you'd want to take the trademark with you if you left the agency?
