Trademarks: Do You Need One? with Vicky Smolyar
EPISODE #10 SHOW NOTES
I’m excited to have Vicky Smolyar on the podcast to talk all things trademarks, copyrights, and more!
Vicky has business in her blood; she started her very first business back in the 5th grade, publishing and selling magazines to her classmates. She is now the founder and head attorney at Smolyar Law. Vicky helps entrepreneurs use the law to their advantage, so they can then thrive and grow the businesses of their dreams.
Vicky is both a business lawyer and business owner, and she believes your legal decisions should be made from a place of power, not fear. When it comes to important legal matters like trademarks, this isn’t something you should be DIYing!
In today’s episode, we’re talking about:
When you really need to trademark something (and when you don’t)
What a trademark actually is
What a copyright is, and if/when you need to register your copyrights
Expected costs when working with a trademark attorney like Vicky
Vicky’s DIY trademark registration course, and why she created it
When it comes to trademarks and deciding if you need one, you really have to be intentional. Think about what you're doing now, and what you're going to do in the future.
Vicky is passionate about the work she does as a trademark attorney, and she loves supporting and nurturing her clients along their entrepreneurial journeys. While legal matters are so not an exciting part of business, they are extremely important, and shouldn’t be shoved under the rug.
If you know it’s time to trademark the important assets of your business, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
