Trademarks for Coaches - Part 2


Listen Later

Have you done a trademark clearance search? In today’s episode, I discuss why it’s so important for coaches to do a trademark clearance search once they’ve figured out the trademark that they want to use to identify their offer. 

 

Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of a trademark clearance search before. I give you the rundown on how you can DIY the process before you begin working with a lawyer (should you decide to hire one during the registration process). If you don’t want to hire a lawyer to tell you what you could’ve found out for yourself in just 5-minutes, this episode is for you. Tune in as I walk through the process so you can get one step closer to filing your trademark with confidence.

 

“Business owners have huge benefits as a result of trademark laws being in place. But it really is in place to protect consumers so that somebody doesn't start tomorrow selling a beverage called Pepsi when they're not affiliated with Pepsi. That can lead consumers to be deceived, taken advantage of, and led to believe that the source of the products are in fact, a source that is not actually the source of the product.” - Yasmine Hamdan
