Did you finally receive your trademark registration, and then wonder, "what now"? Interested in ongoing support after you’ve received your trademark registration? Or curious about what exactly we're talking about when we ask how you've strategized monetizing that valuable IP?
Securing your brand registration is the first step in growing a brand that can grow into the company you’re building- a company that can be bought, sold, or operated with legal peace of mind.
Legal strategy doesn’t end once you receive the registration in the mail- it shifts, and opens up an entirely new level of opportunity. Instead, you’re going to have to employ a new strategy- one of protecting your brand against dilution, so that you can hold onto that trademark.
As your Outside Intellectual Property Counsel, you have the convenience of having a lawyer on call (but not on staff), who you can bounce ideas off of; who is ready to immediately take quick and decisive action if an intellectual property issue arises; and mostly importantly, a built in strategist to help leverage that intellectual property to reach new levels in business.

In order to own your business name, slogan, or logo, you must register that mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Until you take this action, anyone else may register a similar mark (phonetically or visually "similar"), and can then force you to rebrand your business (or pay a licensing fee to continue to do so).
We have hundreds of case studies we can share, and have worked diligently for nearly a decade to maintain our approximate 97% success rate with the USPTO. At the end of the day, however, securing your brand identity isn't just about preventing the impending threat of litigation- trademark registrations significantly raise the value of your company as well.

Copyrights protect "tangible works of authorship"; for example: books, online courses, illustrations, and software (heads up if you're building an app!). According to US law, in order to exercise your rights against an infringer, you must have secured your copyright registering before the incident of copying occurs.
Aside from using registration as a method of protection- let's flip the script, and recognize the potential for monetization with every copyright registration. For example, have you created an online course that someone wants to sell on their site? Having a copyright registration in hand sets you up to be both protected, and in a vantage point to actualize that opportunity.
