Registering a trademark seems like a business no-brainer, but there are some potentially negative consequences that are important to consider before you take the plunge. Join me in this week’s episode where I discuss the downsides to registering a trademark, and why I think you should do it anyway.

Listen and learn:

  • Why raising your business’s profile through trademark registration isn’t always a good thing
  • How a registered trademark helps prevent consumer confusion
  • Why some trademarks can never be registered
  • Why time really is of the essence in our U.S. trademark registration process
  • How important it really is to work with a trusted legal advisor when registering your business’s trademark

KEY TAKEAWAY: Trademark registration is a complicated process that’s not for the faint of heart. But if it’s a brand that’s important to your business, it’s worth registering your trademark.
