Intellectual property lawyer, branding expert and IP business advisor, Shireen Smith joins the show today to share her IP secrets that you can utilise to protect your business. Together they discuss the importance of understanding IP, how IP often acts as a container for your brand's values and why focusing on having unique branding will help separate you from your competitors.Shireen's latest book 'Brand Tuned the new rules of branding, strategy and intellectual property' is available on Amazon KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the big problems within branding is that people are not trained in IP which is of central relevance to brands because all the identifiers by which a brand is recognised are intellectual property. This intellectual property needs to be protected and the business can often be uniquely identified by a name or other identifiers. Intellectual Property (IP) acts as a container for the brand value. So using a name that is uniquely yours, helps contain the value of your brand. When you are using a name that other people can use, you have a colander rather than a container. Other competitors can use the name and customers may find other people when looking for you which will therefore lose your business. Don’t choose a name until you know the business is viable. Therefore you do not have to get into all the costs of trademarking. When you are ready, register a name and trademark it immediately. Understanding IP at the same time as creating a brand or when trying to grow your company will allow you to develop the right strategy. Instead of focusing so much on how you can be different to your competitors in terms of products you offer, designers should be looking at coloring, branding and how they can visually stand out. They cannot copy your distinctiveness. There is a tiny percentage of people who find themselves in a situation where another company begins using the same name as them and they are unable to fight back. You have to decide whether to take the risk of not trademarking your company name. Try to protect yourself within your home market and try not to worry about international companies unless you have a more substantial business. BEST MOMENTS “It is important to find a name that can be uniquely yours.” “In the 21st century we have the internet, which has changed everything.” “Distinctiveness is what you can protect.” ABOUT THE GUEST “Shireen Smith is an intellectual property lawyer and business advisor specialising in trademarks and brands, and founder of IP law firm Azrights. Her interest in business and entrepreneurship led her to in-house positions at Coopers & Lybrand and then Reuters. She briefly returned to private practice, working at the international law firm Eversheds while raising her two daughters. Shireen is also a trained journalist and writes extensively about brands, business and IP on her various blogs. She has a strong social media presence, including a YouTube channel, and has published articles in numerous journals. She has been a regular speaker at the British Library, LSE and conferences for the legal industry and entrepreneurs, and has written 2 books, Legally Branded and Intellectual Property Revolution, which focus on the impact of the internet on business IP. Intangible assets are more important than ever to businesses, yet many entrepreneurs are unaware of the IP implications of their work or their brand creation. Drawing on her own marketing experience with Azrights and her extensive work with clients, Shireen created Brandtuned as a unique combination of branding and IP that helps businesses position themselves for the 21st century.” Shireen's Contact Information Website: https://www.brandtuned.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandtuned/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/brandtuned/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/brand_tuned Shireen Smith Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShireenSmith Shireen Smith FB: https://www.facebook.com/shireensmith.4/ Shireen Smith IG: https://www.instagram.com/shireensmith/?hl=en ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely and after totally nailing this concept he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same.

He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.

Kerry Gleeson grew up playing cricket on the green with the boys in the northern part of Cotswolds in the UK. Her mantra was and remains: "Shoulders back, remember who you are and go get it." For the past two decades, Kerry has sat on ASX Boards as Director, Senior Executive and Board Advisor, working nationally and internationally across broad and complex industry sectors including mining and resources, industrial and agri-chemicals, manufacturing, transport and distribution and international education. At age 12, Kerry knew she wanted to be a commercial lawyer and so she pursued her dream. In 1989, she commenced her legal career at the international law firm Eversheds in London and after 10 years of practicing law in the UK, she fell in love with her now husband and exiled to Australia. Leaving Halliwell Landau where she was corporate partner, she landed as Senior Corporate Associate with Ashurst in Melbourne. With her daughter on her lap, she interviewed for the role of Group Executive for Incitec Pivot Ltd (AXS: IPL) where she remained nine years before entering her first independent non-executive role in 2014 with McAleese Group. Despite being well known, highly sought after and respected in the executive space, Kerry admits she takes deliberate action, knows intimately her value proposition and networks like a boss to get seen in the non-executive sphere. Known for her strength in governance, legal and risk, it was a natural fit to align with the resource sector, particularly mining, which sees Kerry as NED for the Australian-based companies St Barbara (ASX 200) gold producer and explorer, and New Century Resources (ASX:NCZ), metal producer and world's top 10 zinc producers. Claire speaks with Kerry in this podcast about the positives of COVID, why you can't assume roles will fly at you because you've had a successful executive career, and immeasurable rewards of networking.

On this episode of The Geek in Review, Anusia Gillespie, the US Head of Innovation at Eversheds Sutherland, sits down with us this week to discuss what she refers to as the "New Big Law" market's inverted approach to innovation. In a market filled with problem solvers, sometimes the innovation we create solves a problem first, and then sets out to find the problem for this solution. Gillespie finds that innovation is disciplined and structured in its approach, but broad and creative in its thinking. Innovation definitely doesn't live in any one discipline. Innovative solutions might require technology expertise, but it could just as well only require professional development expertise or strict legal expertise. She's convinced that we need to move away from this type of anchoring bias to ensure that, in this time of rebuilding law into New Big Law, legal innovators finally design and implement correct and smart solutions. With the various professionals needed to identify problems, and create solutions, you need leadership, structure, a bit of fun mixed in, and a champion-forward approach. We dive into issues ranging from an overview of how Eversheds defines innovation to case studies of Gillespie's publication on smart solutions for lateral recruitment and onboarding. Information Inspirations There are five very good podcast recordings from Legal Talk Networks "On the Road" series from the American Association of Law LIbraries (AALL) conference in Washington, DC.

It's not surprising, but is it really all that bad? Maybe. Our fellow 3 Geek's writer, Ryan McClead, was interviewed by the ACC's Rachel Zahorsky about all those innovation subsidiaries that have been all over the news lately. McClead thinks there may be more sizzle than steak, saying that he doesn't think that anyone is doing it very well, and that the innovation created on the outside, doesn't seem to be making it back inside those firms. Cat Moon's #FailureCamp was a success. Marlene was excited about all of the Twitter traffic and information that came out of the workshop, and she hinted, pretty loudly, that she'd love one of the cool t-shirts the attendees were issued.
