You spent years building your name and brand. You poured your blood, sweat, and tears into it. So, what happens when a knockoff tries to use a similar name or logo?
Your federally registered trademark is your brand’s security system. It gives you the legal power to stop impostors from using a confusingly similar name or logo in your industry.
Think of the brand loyalty you’ve built with your customers. Your trademark protects that loyalty and the revenue it brings in from doppelgangers who want to ride your coattails and poach your clients.
Intellectual property is one of the most terrifyingly useful tools you have. If you’re a creator or other entrepreneur ready to build a frighteningly powerful brand and business, you need to know how to use it. You don’t have to face the darkness alone, though.
I help entrepreneurs across the U.S. make smart, legally sound decisions about their intellectual property. I’m an attorney in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, but I serve intellectual property clients nationwide.
