Share This Post

Your business matters too much to keep making the same trademark mistakes.  These can have a long term effect on your business. Not completing a thorough trademark clearance search? Still waiting until after branding is complete to consult a business or trademark attorney? Waiting too long to register your mark? 
 
Cut. It. Out. 
 
Listen to Attorney LaConya Murray spill some legal tea over the Afrochella vs Coachella trademark situation and discuss the common trademark mistakes highlighted in the case.

Today's episode covers:

  • Completing a thorough trademark clearance search doesn't mean relying just on the google search engine
  • It’s important to monitor your trademark once registered to prevent outside violations and to ensure it being used as a brand identifier
  • The harm of procrastination: Waiting too long to register your trademark increases the chances of someone else filing or using it first
