Googling your business name is smart, but Google usually won’t show you trademark filings or businesses that don’t have a website.

The trademark office also flags names that just sound alike, so it doesn’t have to be an exact match to cause an issue.

So before you buy that domain or invest in branding, make sure you have an attorney run a comprehensive search.

Save this for later, and comment SEARCH to book a discovery call. 💜

Your brand name’s one of the most valuable things your business owns. A trademark makes sure it stays that way.

It keeps your customers from landing with a copycat, saves you from a forced rebrand or an infringement claim down the road, adds real value when you sell or bring in investors, and lets you license your name and get paid for it.

Comment ASSET below, and I’ll send you our one pager on how trademarks add value to your brand. 💜

“I had the name first, so it’s fine.” 😶

A federal trademark’s your leverage when a competitor starts using a name that’s too close to yours.

As a business attorney I did not build this practice just to file paperwork. 🤍

I built it for one core value that has never changed and never will.

Choices.

I want the women that I work with to have CHOICES. Real choices.

The choice to be able to sell your business one day.
The choice to walk away on your OWN TERMS.
The choice to grow without fear.

When a woman doesn’t legally OWN their own business, those choices are taken away. Someone else can LITERALLY take all the hard work you have put on your brand.

& I am not okay with that.

This is where the IP Map comes in. 🤍

The 60-Minute IP Map is a deep dive into your business where we look at what you’ve created, what intellectual property you have, what may need protection, and where you may have legal gaps.

Instead of guessing what you need, we map it out together and figure out what to protect and what to prioritize next. Book at the link in bio!

Building an app is exciting… until you realize there are legal pieces you may not have thought about. 👀
Who owns the code?
Is your app name protected?
Do you have the right agreements in place?
What about your privacy policy and terms?
Paying someone to build something for your business doesn’t automatically mean every legal box is checked.
If you have an app or you’re building one, save this checklist. 🤍
And if you’re not sure what your business actually needs, book a 60 Minute IP Map and let’s figure it out together.

Some things doctors have said to me over the years that I just can’t forget. 🫠
When you’ve been living with chronic pain, being dismissed can make you question your own body and what you’re experiencing.
Finding doctors who actually listened, believed me, and took my pain seriously made such a difference. 🤍
If you have endo, adenomyosis, pmos, or have ever felt dismissed by a doctor…
What’s something a doctor said to you that still lives rent-free in your head? 👀
I know I can’t be the only one.

When should you file for a trademark? 👀
YESTERDAY. 😂
Okay, maybe not literally. But if you’re a business owner building a brand around a name you plan to invest in, grow, and become known for, trademark protection should be something you think about early.
Because the longer you build without knowing whether your name is actually available to protect, the more you could have at stake.
Don’t wait until you’ve poured money into your logo, website, packaging, marketing, and everything else to start asking the question.
Not sure if you’re ready to trademark or what you should protect? Book a 60 Minute IP Map and let’s figure it out together. Link in bio!

Trademark and copyright are not the same thing… and a lot of business owners don’t realize that until it’s too late 👀
A trademark protects things like your business name, brand name, logo, or slogan.
A copyright protects original creative work like photos, videos, graphics, website copy, and content.
One protects your brand identity.
The other protects what you create.
If you’re growing a business, understanding the difference matters more than you think because protecting the wrong thing could leave your business exposed.
If you’re not sure what your business actually needs, let’s figure it out together 🤍
