Unlock the secrets to safeguarding your business with our distinguished guest - a small business and intellectual property lawyer - Samantha Bradshaw (Inline Legal), also a trademark expert.
Samantha lets us in on her entrepreneurial journey and her mission to aid creative entrepreneurs in protecting their ventures. She emphasizes the significance of proactive legal strategies and contracts, and the need for practical business education. We also extend our conversation to the world of trademarks. Intriguingly, trademarks don't just cover names and slogans, but can even protect colors and smells in select categories!
As our conversation flows, we delve deeper into trademark services and the criticality of brand protection, especially for businesses operating across state lines or those with future expansion plans. Learn the difference between TM and R and when to trademark a name, course, or slogan.
Samantha further simplifies the trademark registration process and underlines the importance of a unique brand name. Is trademarking an expensive affair? Is it worth the investment? We dissect these questions and more.
In our final segment, we turn the spotlight on the legal landscape for small businesses. A lawyer specializing in fractional legal services for entrepreneurs shares golden nuggets of wisdom on custom contracts, the perils of sticking to sole proprietorship, and the pressing need for legal and financial advice from the get-go.
Strap in for an insightful journey into the world of small business and intellectual property law. This episode is a must-listen for all entrepreneurs seeking to shield their business and assets through sound legal services.
