As the owner of a small business myself, I understand what drives entrepreneurs to create a path of their own. You’re trying to make your vision come to life, and that’s pretty amazing. But, wait one minute. What have you done to make sure no one else is using your name or stealing your logo? If you’ve never consulted with a trademark lawyer, it’s time to have a conversation about applying for a trademark for your name and logo.
Trademark protection is powerful stuff. By getting a TM for your company name and logo, you will have all of the legal rights you need to stop anyone from profiting off of your creation.
Let’s say you’re a social media attorney, and you’ve worked hard to build your brand. All of a sudden, another social media lawyer comes along and steals your name. All of a sudden, potential customers are confused, you’re losing business, and you’re involved in a costly legal battle your trademark attorney might not win.
Here’s another example. Think about Nike. As one of the most globally recognized brands in the world, it is always at risk against knockoffs from the competition. What would have happened if it hadn’t gotten trademark protection for its name or the famous Nike Swoosh logo? Anyone could have used their name or logo – for profit – without any legal repercussions. Luckily for everyone at Nike, it didn’t let that happen, and neither should you!
After your trademark application is accepted, you’ll be the exclusive owner of your name or logo in connection with your goods or services. You’ll also have a valuable asset that can be very valuable in the future. On top of all that, you’ll also know that you’re protected from competitors and knockoffs, and there’s nothing more valuable than that.
