PROTECTING YOUR CORE BUSINESS CREATIONS®

All too often, small and medium-sized businesses barely pay any attention to their trademarks, copyrights, and contracts until something bad happens. Sometimes, that bad thing is learning that all your time and hard work in developing your brand has been stolen by a copycat who is confusing your customers and taking away your revenue. Other times, that bad thing is being personally hit with a legitimate cease and desist letter from another brand owner notifying you that you are infringing on their intellectual property. ("Yikes!" you scream. "I had NO idea I was infringing on someone else's trademarks!")

Unfortunately, waiting until something bad happens to start paying attention to your intellectual property and business law matters can spell complete financial ruin for your business. Often, once you finally receive notice that something bad has happened, the issue is too far gone financially to rein it back in and course correct. These issues--which are easily avoidable on the front end--can balloon to a point where the business has two choices: rebrand or close down shop.

It doesn't have to be this way. No business owners should be on pins and needles wondering whether their brands will be ripped away from them--either by someone else's misconduct or by their own misconduct.
