That isn't how intellectual property works.

'Liau Protocol' is not registered as a trademark in the US and generally you can't register a trademark in the US that is primarily a surname.

Trademarks are meant to identify the source of goods or services. So in order to register a trademark, you need to designate one or more classes of goods. So 'Apple' for instance is registered to different people for different classes of goods, like computers and banking. So you can't just trademark and phrase because you came up with it.

Also, the ™ symbol designates something for which you have applied for a trademark, while ® designates something that is actually registered. And ? is used for Service Marks.

Likewise, you can't copyright phrases, in case that was the next plan.
