TOP3SMALLBIZLEGALISSUES2-3 - The Legalpreneur

The most common questions I receive revolve around what to expect during the trademark process, so today I’m going to break it down for you. Trademarks serve as a wall of protection around your business. Securing one for your brand is a lengthy process that requires patience, but it is absolutely worth the 7+ months that it will take. So grab a pen and get ready, because I’m taking you through what to expect, step-by-step.  

In this episode, we’ll cover: 

  • The importance of a trademark search (For more about trademark searches, click here!

  • Trademark risk levels – what they are and how they are determined 

  • What to expect once you file your trademark application 

  • ‘Likelihood of confusion’ – what it means and how it can affect your application

  • How oppositions can affect your application

  • The importance of continuously monitoring your trademark for infringement
