copy write a company as leverage to include me in their venture

[Mike Watkins]

There's a store my wife loves and I have found that their name is not copy written. I'd like to copy write it so the owner would have a reason to include me in the business. Later I would like to expand into a franchise.

The real question is, can I do this, and not seem like a Trump? And, If so, what can I do show her I'm not looking to get payment from her but a desire to work with her, and improve the business?
