If you’ve been in business for years without having a trademark for your brand name or logo, you may be wondering if you really need it now. As a trademark attorney, my answer is absolutely! The last thing you want is for another business to pop up and steal your name. Not only could this confuse customers, but it will also prevent you from filing for a trademark of your own in the future.
Think about it – you’ve had your business name and brand all this time. It’s been going great, and your business is thriving. Now, some newcomer comes along, trademarks your name, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Now, they’re operating as you, and your business is suffering big time. This is a lose-lose situation, and it could have been avoided.
In my career as the Social Media Lawyer, I’ve seen what can happen when you don’t have a trademark. Your business could lose customers. Your brand won’t be able to grow. You could even find yourself in an expensive legal battle for your own name. And if your trademark lawyer isn’t successful, you’ll have to spend even more money later on either changing your company name or trying to get it back. Why put yourself through such a big hassle when you can simply apply for a trademark instead?
The process is actually pretty easy. I’ve helped many of my clients get the protection they need as their social media attorney. First, we check if your company name is available. If it is, we apply for your trademark. Our trademark law firm will handle all of the paperwork. Then, we deal with anyone who objects. Once the process is over, you have the protection you need.
