Your Signature program is Your Most Valuable Asset. Are You Sure You Actually Own It? 🛡️
- You’ve spent years perfecting your coaching framework. You’ve named it, launched it, and built a community around it. You did a quick Google search when you started, and since no one else was using it, you figured you were "clear."
- But here is the reality: A Google search doesn't grant you ownership. 🛑
- In the world of coaching, trademark "available on Google" is not the same as "available at the USPTO." Without a professional trademark search and filing, you are vulnerable to:
- The "Copycat" Effect: Someone else launches a similar program with your name, and because you don't have a registered trademark, you have no easy way to stop them. 👯♀️
- The Phonetic Block: You named your program "The Radiant Leader," but someone else already trademarked "Radiance Leadership." To the USPTO, these sound too similar, and your application—or your right to use the name—could be denied. Add a list item here. 👂
- The Cease & Desist Surprise: Just as your program hits six figures, a larger brand sends you a letter claiming you're infringing on a trademark they filed months before you even Googled your name. 💔
- Don't let "good enough" search results put your brand's future at risk. At Malellari Law, we specialize in moving you from hoping your name is yours to knowing it is. 🏗️
