Podcasts about trademarking

If you've ever told yourself "I'm too small to worry about trademarks," this episode is the wake-up call. Kelly sits down with trademark and IP attorney Berkeley Sweetapple — the rare lawyer who makes legal genuinely fun — to break down why protecting your brand isn't a someday problem, it's a business growth investment you make early. Kelly opens up about the most expensive lesson of her career. when she figured she was too small and insignificant to bother with a trademark, and ended up needing a full rebrand across thousands of files, podcasts, and videos, millions of dollars lost, and years of focus pulled off growth. Berkeley shares how she went from "most likely to quit law and become a housewife" to building a law firm serving online entrepreneurs, and gets into where IP is heading in the age of AI. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Matthew McConaughey are already trademarking phrases, faces, and likenesses to control how their persona shows up online, and Berkeley explains why the law is always playing catch-up while AI moves at full speed. Berkley shares why everything in your business probably needs a legal refresh after the changes of the last couple years, and where to start if you're mid-panic. The common denominator: if you stay in business long enough, these things will happen to you. The move is to get the right people in place early, stay in your CEO energy, delegate the legal, and build the systems so you can keep moving the company forward.

Think forming an LLC protects your business name? Think again.In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, trademark attorney Joey Vitale, founder of Indie Law, breaks down why trademarks are the number one legal risk facing every small business and why most solopreneurs don't realize it until it's too late.Joey shares real stories of entrepreneurs blindsided by cease and desist letters (including one who had to rebrand her podcast in 14 days while on vacation in Hawaii), explains the critical difference between LLC protection and trademark protection, and walks through exactly what you need to know to protect the brand you've worked so hard to build.In this episode, you'll learn:→ Why checking the domain name availability is NOT the same as being legally protected → The difference between an LLC (your "backstage name") and a trademark (your "onstage name") → Word marks vs. logo marks, and when each one makes sense → How to use "intent to use" filing to protect a name before you even launch → Why over half of the 500,000+ annual trademark applications get denied → The three hidden costs of a forced rebrand: time, identity, and your business machine → What a knockout search is and how to run one for free today → Why the TM symbol is helpful but won't save you from a legal challenge → Budget-friendly ways to get trademark protection in place, even as a life-first solopreneurJoey also unpacks the mindset shift that happens when founders receive their trademark registration, and why it's the modern equivalent of taping that first dollar bill to the cash register.Whether you're testing a new business name or you've been operating for years without filing, this episode gives you a clear, actionable roadmap to protect your brand.Resources mentioned:Indie LawUSPTO Trademark SearchJoey's book: Legally LegitLife First.

Trademarking your game name and logo might not be the most exciting part of development—but it's one of the most critical. In this episode, we break down why protecting your intellectual property is essential in today's competitive gaming landscape.We start with the basics: what a trademark actually is and why it matters. From there, we walk through the full process, including how to conduct a trademark search, choose a strong name, and file your application with the USPTO.You'll also learn about the timeline involved. Trademark registration isn't instant—it can take months—but understanding the process helps you plan effectively and avoid unnecessary delays.One of the key topics we explore is risk. What happens if you don't trademark your game? The answer: potential legal disputes, forced rebranding, and lost opportunities. We share real-world examples of companies that faced these challenges—and what you can learn from them.We also dive into strategy. Should you trademark early, or wait until your game gains traction? Both approaches have pros and cons, and we break them down so you can make an informed decision based on your situation.Another important aspect is brand strength. Not all trademarks are created equal. We discuss how to choose a name that's not only creative but also legally defensible.For indie developers, this episode is especially valuable. Limited resources make it even more important to get things right the first time. A strong trademark strategy can save time, money, and stress down the line.We also touch on international considerations. If you plan to expand globally, trademark protection becomes more complex—but also more important.By the end of the episode, you'll have a clear understanding of how trademarking works, why it matters, and how to approach it strategically.Whether you're just starting out or preparing to launch, this is information every game developer should have.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Adam and Kevin start the show discussing the NCAA Tournament before discussing the NBA MVP Race and how Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama both spoke publicly about the race and why they should be MVP. Adam McCullough then joins the show to discuss the MLB season and whether or not the Dodgers winning a 3rd title in a row would force a lockout next year or not. The guys discuss Bears QB Caleb Williams trademarking "Iceman" despite years of NBA Hall of Famer George Gervin being known as that. Val Kilmer from "Top Gun" also was known as "Iceman" but neither him nor Gervin ever trademarked the nickname. The guys discuss their favorite nicknames before a new edition of Brandons Block. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A conversation about George Gervin responding to Caleb Williams trying to trademark "Iceman" somehow turned into David sharing his disdain for Tom Cruise.

Have you ever considered that your business name might already belong to someone else?  In this episode of Life After Corporate, host Deb Boulanger sits down with trademark attorney Lauren Bercuson to uncover the costly mistakes entrepreneurs make when it comes to trademarks. Lauren explains why securing a URL or registering your business name isn't enough to protect your brand, and she shares the crucial steps every business owner should take before launching. From the risks of skipping a comprehensive trademark search to the dangers of infringing on an existing mark, she breaks down the legal nuances that could make or break your brand. Whether you're naming a new business, launching a product, or starting a podcast, this episode is packed with must-know strategies to avoid legal headaches and financial losses.  Think your brand is safe? You might want to think again.    [00:05- 07:10] Common Misconceptions About Brand Protection   Owning a URL does not grant legal protection for a brand name. Business entity registration does not equate to trademark protection. Trademarking with the USPTO provides a legal defense against name disputes. A registered trademark is policed by the USPTO, preventing similar names from registering.     [07:11 -14:33] The Limits of DIY Trademark Searches   Searching the USPTO database is not enough to confirm trademark availability. Similar-sounding or phonetically equivalent names can still cause conflicts. Google searches do not account for common law trademarks. Trademark attorneys understand nuances like foreign equivalency and industry overlap.     [14:34 - 29:38]  The Trademark Registration Process     A comprehensive search determines if a name is legally available. The USPTO review process takes 8-10 months. Trademark registration strengthens brand identity and legal protection. Businesses with trademarks have an advantage in negotiations and funding.   [22:39 - 30:53] Why Podcasts and Digital Brands Should Be Trademarked   Trademarking a podcast prevents others from using a similar name. Even non-monetized podcasts benefit from brand protection. Legal conflicts arise when similar show names confuse audiences. Entrepreneurs should treat digital assets as valuable business properties.   Mentioned Resources USPTO.gov – The official database for trademark searches.

Lauren Bercuson on Preventing Trademark Confusion "I actually love “THE GREAT DOOVER” because it really doesn't give you any hint of what the goods or services might be.

In the cannabis industry (or any industry), trademarks are your first defense against copycats and confusion. A distinctive brand identity ensures consumers know who you are while laying the groundwork for geographic expansion, customer loyalty, and potential acquisitions. Generic names or overly familiar symbols (ahem, bud leaves) may seem appealing, but they're nearly impossible to protect—leaving your business exposed to risk. Trademarking cannabis comes with unique challenges due to federal restrictions, making state registrations and creative strategies essential.  From protecting your core products to leveraging trademarks for ancillary goods like merchandise, every step strengthens your position in the marketplace. A proactive approach saves you time, money, and headaches by reducing the risk of legal disputes and allowing your business to grow confidently. Safeguarding your trademarks isn't just about legal compliance—it's about securing your future in a competitive industry. Whether launching or scaling your brand, the right trademark strategy ensures your hard-earned reputation remains yours alone. Hybrid Director of Strategy Jen Lamboy and Seth Gardenswartz of Black Garden Law discuss trademarking in the cannabis industry during this recent webinar.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 448. I was interviewed by Logan Hertz, of Hazeltine LLC, about attempts by the Nelson Nash Institute, they of the poorly-named "Infinite Banking" concept, to use trademark to bully competitors. I discuss the general problem with IP and then apply it to trademark, and provide suggestions as to more "ethical" ways of using trademark and IP in an IP-world. See also Logan's LinkedIn post.

Join Doug as he interviews Georgia Kirke, founder of Clio Books. They talk about the revolutionary world of AI-powered book writing, discussing how Clio is changing the game for aspiring authors. Georgia shares her expertise on the importance of books for building authority and thought leadership, while Doug reflects on his own authorship journey. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs looking to share their knowledge and boost their personal brand through writing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clio Books is an AI-powered SaaS platform that guides non-fiction authors through the book planning process, allowing them to speak their book rather than write it. Traditional book writing methods can be time-consuming and expensive, but Clio reduces the time by 93% and costs a tenth of traditional methods. Having a book establishes authority and thought leadership, opening doors to speaking engagements and industry recognition. Consistency in content creation, including books, blogs, and podcasts, is crucial for building a strong personal brand and sharing expertise. Clio doesn't replace the author's thinking or content; it streamlines the process and structure, making book creation more accessible. Effective book marketing strategies include creating a targeted hit list of ideal clients and strategic partners for personalised outreach. Trademarking key phrases or titles can add extra authority to an author's brand and make them more memorable. While immediate financial returns on books may not always be evident, the long-term benefits in terms of opportunities and brand building can be significant.   BEST MOMENTS "Clio is an AI powered SaaS platform that leads non-fiction authors through the book planning process, provides the structure, gives you a talking plan, and then asks you questions, and your answers then become the book manuscript that Clio types up for you." "Writing and books are synonymous, yes, but it's not accurate that you have to become a writer in order to author a book." "Books and authority go hands in hand and, and in fact, the word author comes from the original Latin word for authority."  "I know my book sort of kept me up with the Million Dollar Roundtable, MDRT, and you know I've been invited to go on a committee about membership services and so that's happened and then somebody else is talking to me about the possibility of speaking at the conference next year, which would be amazing." "Don't write your book, speak your book. Get onto the Clio site, follow Clio, loads, loads of exciting things to come."

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Andrei Mincov, founder and CEO of Trademark Factory, a company that specialises in trademark registration & protection. On this episode Mincov shares his insights & experiences on the importance of trademarks for entrepreneurs and businesses, and the common mistakes and misconceptions that people have about the trademarking process. He will also explores the role of IP in business growth & success, & the strategies &best practices for protecting & leveraging your ideas & brands. KEY TAKEAWAYS My dad was a famous composer in Russia. A radio station that stole a song he wrote & turned it into an ad for Samsung without his permission, at the time I was attending law school & he asked me for help. I didn't know anything about IP but in 1996 nobody in Russia had any idea about IP because Russia had just changed from Soviet law into free market law, so I gave it a shot & as part of that journey I became passionate about helping people who created something to protect it from others who want to steal it from them. Trademarking is mostly the same around the world, there are small differences here & there & you need to understand them to be successful in those countries. But, this isn't something I think entrepreneurs should care about, that's why providers exists who can navigate them through this. What you should know are the basics, it's not as complex as you might think: What is trademarking? What are you protecting? What do you need to show to the government to prove it's a brand & not a cute name or image? The biggest misconceptions I see with trademarks is that you don't own the word or the image you own the mental association between that work, phrase or image & specific products & services that you sell. Why trademark? If you plan to be in business for several/many years, the brand will become the most valuable asset of your business. It makes it easier t=for you to attract better talent, attract better leads at a lower cost to advertise at lesser cost. Even if you file your trademark a day before someone else does, you're good. The problem is you don't know when someone else will file for a trademark, so you should do it early or else someone else will do it and you won't be protected, even if you came up with the name first.  BEST MOMENTS ‘The trademarking process takes a long time & I've seen a lot of entrepreneurs being taken advantage of by unscrupulous firms that claim to be able to trademark their brand for $49.' ‘The success rate of your trademark application is directly related to your willingness to understand the basics.' ‘On a general level, what trademarks protect is the brand, whether it's the name, tagline, logo, or some combination.' ‘Trademarks is the only type of IP that you can own, in theory, forever. Copyrights, patents, industrial right expire, if you renew your trademark every 10 years you can own it forever.' ABOUT THE GUEST Andrei Mincov, the founder and CEO of Trademark Factory, is a renowned expert in intellectual property law. With a career that began with a fight to protect his father's music, Mincov has since written multiple books on the subject, including an international bestseller, & has helped thousands of entrepreneurs and companies protect their IP. His passion for ensuring that hardworking entrepreneurs are not taken advantage of led him to found Trademark Factory, the only firm in the world that offers trademark registration services with a guaranteed result for a guaranteed budget. When he's not helping secure trademarks, Mincov enjoys living in Dubai with his wife & 3 kids & playing his one-of-a-kind DrumDesk.
