Podcasts about trademarks

"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

What if the way you've been thinking about buying a business has been costing you money before you've even made an offer? Not a little money. A lot. The kind of difference that turns a three-times multiple into a thirty-seven-times multiple. The kind of gap that separates someone who buys themselves a job from someone who builds a portfolio that works without them. Brad Sugars has been on the right side of that gap for thirty years. Founder of ActionCoach - the world's number one business coaching franchise across 80 countries. Over a million business owners coached. Sixteen books written. And a personal acquisition track record built on one thing most buyers never develop: a framework. He once paid double what every other bidder offered. And still got the business for ten percent of what he knew it was actually worth. Because he could see value nobody else was looking at. That's not luck. That's a system. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Brad to unpack the acquisition philosophy that the top one percent use - and almost nobody at entry level even knows exists. You'll learn: The difference between a job buyer, financial buyer, and strategic buyer - and why most people are stuck in the wrong category their entire career Why 60% of businesses listed for sale never sell, and how to exploit that fact The 50-10-3-1 rule every serious buyer needs to understand before looking at a single listing How to use vendor financing, share swaps, and capital injection to acquire without a war chest Why Brad asks "are you looking for investors?" instead of "are you looking to sell?" - and why that one shift changes everything The three things to audit the moment you take ownership - and why missing one will bleed you dry The due diligence mistakes that kill deals, crater offers, and send serious buyers running And the one line that should be on every buyer's wall: The deal of the century comes along every week. Don't fall in love with the business. Fall in love with the deal. Most buyers skip the process, buy the dream, and wonder why the numbers never add up. This episode is the antidote.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

In this episode, our guest shares how his men's underwear company grew to 8-figures using Amazon, TikTok Live, Shopify, Reddit, product drops, and a customer-driven brand strategy. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Jared Mortensen, founder of Real Men Apparel Company. Jared's journey is anything but traditional. After growing up in a small town in Southern Utah, spending 20 years in aerospace, and later helping scale an e-commerce pet product company, he made an unexpected leap into men's underwear. What started as a niche product idea became an eight-figure brand built around solving an underserved problem in men's apparel: better fit, comfort, and size inclusivity. Jared shares how he used research, Amazon reviews, and Helium 10 tools to identify a specific customer pain point and launch into a highly competitive category dominated by billion-dollar brands. Instead of immediately competing for broad keywords like “men's underwear,” he focused on long-tail keywords, underserved customer segments, and highly specific product benefits. Real Men Apparel Company hit $1 million in sales within its first calendar year, eventually growing to $8.5 million in 2025 across Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok. Jared also explains how a 40% return customer rate, strong branded search, and memorable branding helped the company gain momentum in a crowded market. A major focus of the episode is Jared's unique TikTok Live, Shopify, and Reddit strategy. TikTok Live began as a necessity during a serious cash crunch in late 2023, but it quickly became one of the brand's most powerful growth engines. Jared explains how going live with just an iPhone, ring lights, and a simple setup helped save the business, generate fast cash flow, and create a major halo effect on Amazon and Shopify. He also shares how the brand uses TikTok content across Meta, builds email and SMS lists, works with over 2,000 affiliates, and uses live streams to build a loyal community where customers interact directly with the founder and even influence future products. Jared also breaks down how his Reddit strategy has become a long-term brand-building and AI search play. Rather than creating a subreddit focused solely on his own brand, he built a broader men's underwear review community where customers, competitors, and shoppers can discuss products openly. He explains how this transparency builds credibility, drives high-intent traffic to Shopify, and helps position the brand in conversations that may influence future AI recommendations. The episode closes with Jared's plans to grow from $11 million to $12 million in annual sales, expand Shopify, continue weekly limited-product drops, and deepen supplier relationships. For Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Shopify sellers, Jared's story is a reminder that, even in a crowded category, the right niche, product, community, and content engine can create a brand customers keep coming back to.

Taylor Swift moved to trademark her voice and image as AI threats grow. That's not vanity — it's the opening shot of the identity-as-IP era. The legal framework for being a person is about to get expensive.Three new industries are forming: biometric IP filing, deepfake takedown services, 'verified human' subscriptions. Combined market in 5 years: $50B+. The catch — it's all built for people who can already afford lawyers. Everyone else is training data.Timestamps:0:00 Taylor Swift trademarks voice + image (Gerben IP)0:15 MiniDoge — first volley in identity-as-IP, every face a registered asset0:35 Nyx — your face is code that compiles into anyone1:00 HH — "Taylor lawyers up.

Somewhere right now, a kid is kicking a ball in the street while a stadium across the world is holding its breath for a final-second win. We love sports because they create instant shared meaning, but the part most fans never see is the structure that makes those moments travel, repeat, and endure. For World IP Day 2026, we're celebrating “IP and sports” with a playful challenge that lands on a serious point: intellectual property is what helps sport scale.We break down the real sports business engine behind broadcasting rights, sponsorships, merchandising, and the rising value of sports data. Then we put the ideas to the test with “Who Wants To Own The Stadium,” a quick game that connects familiar examples to the core IP tools: patents, trademarks, copyright, licensing, and industrial design. Nike Flyknit shows how a patented invention can become a platform across product lines. The Nike swoosh shows how a trademark becomes trust, culture, and belonging. Madden NFL shows how copyright and licensing can turn a league into interactive entertainment. Air Jordan 1 shows how product design can become a collectible icon and a long-term asset.By the end, we tie everything together into a practical takeaway for founders, creators, lawyers, and curious fans: sports value is built on more than performance, and good IP strategy helps innovation travel, brands grow, and creators get rewarded.

Jim transitioned from family law to IP/trademark law over several years, and today ~95% of his practice is trademark-related such as prosecution, office actions, TTAB work, etc.* YouTube has been a major business driver. He started his channel in 2016 with no strategy, and it grew to ~170,000 subscribers, which was largely fueled by COVID-era viewers. His key advice: be personable, not just informational. Show your personality and life, not just a wall of law books.* He built a membership/subscription model on top of his legal work. Starting from COVID-era courses, he created a monthly membership (~$95/month) offering coaching calls, courses, discounted trademark fees, and value-adds like privacy policy setup. He emphasizes over-delivering to retain members.* Automation and the right tech stack are central to running a lean firm. He uses Clio (case management), Wrike (project management), Dialpad (AI-powered phone/transcription), Paxton AI (legal research), and Zapier to tie it all together. His philosophy: reduce manual tasks so the firm runs itself.* Lawyers should register their own trademarks and build a brand. As states loosen naming restrictions, lawyers can create real brands. Jim holds three registered trademarks for his own business and strongly advocates protecting your brand name before someone else does.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?
