Finding Brave

80: What Entrepreneurs Need to Understand To Protect Their Intellectual Property, with David Postolski


Listen Later

Make no mistake about it. If you want ownership of any kind in the United States or any country on the hundreds of ideas you’re creating, you must take the affirmative step to begin trademarking.” - David Postolski

As a small business owner or someone with intellectual property, you will find this Finding Brave episode extremely helpful, because our expert guest today shares vital information that will not only protect you legally, but also will help you sleep at night and reduce the stress and worry around preserving the ideas that are yours.

David Postolski, a partner at Gearhart Law, is a registered patent attorney and Intellectual Property attorney. With over 17 years’ experience, David specializes in assisting inventors, creators, artists, start-ups, entrepreneurs, early stage companies and emerging companies with their U.S and International intellectual property strategy, protection, enforcement and monetization. David is a frequent speaker and author on intellectual property issues surrounding emerging technologies (cannabis, crypto currency, 3d printing, gig economy), raising capital, business formation, licensing, and reward and equity based crowdfunding. David is also a Professor at Temple University and Parsons School of Design where he teaches master level students about IP, ethics and other regulatory considerations in starting business ventures and products around design. David is the current Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Officer of the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law and the founder of their International Action Group and editor of their monthly newsletter.

I have lived the serious mistake of not investing to trademark an idea and understand that sometimes it can be tough to invest in legal services for things like trademarks. But if you’re putting the time and energy into your intellectual property in order to be of service to others, it’s absolutely something that you need to do. So listen in and start putting aside the funds for these essential expenditures now, because it could cost you a lot more in the future if you don’t look after your intellectual property the right way.
