One of my favorite parts about being a trademark attorney is that I get to help people protect something they’ve poured sooo much soul into 🫶🏽🩵📜🪽
But my LEAST favorite part is having to be the 🧸 of bad news when my clients have made expensive mistakes that cost them their brand 🥲
You see, most of the trademark problems I see happen bc someone started out with the wrong assumptions:
“I bought the domain”
“I have the LLC”
“There was something on Google but it was in a different country”
“There’s an IG account but they haven’t posted in a while”
“I can file the application later”
I hear a version of these almost every consult call.
Luckily, I can help you overcome most of these trademark mistakes. Just this month, I was able to help:
• a wellness facility get USPTO approval, despite a competitor with a similar name
• a photographer get a registration, despite a copycat using the same name
• a content company get clearance, despite a podcast with the same name
These things didn’t happen on a fluke, they happened after months of strategy, searches, & conscious decisions made together… because they knew exactly what the process & legal analysis entailed (& they didn’t make assumptions)!
Do any of these slides surprise you?
PS- I’m spending this week deeeeep in trademarks, working on 3 new clients onboarded & sharpening my skills with the 2026 version of Trademark Lawyer Lady ‘s mentorship program, 2 Weeks 2 Trademarks. It’s been 6 years since I started the course but like the USPTO filing fees, tech interface, & internal policies, my practice (& the law) is always evolving! 🫶🏽🩵📜🪽🏛️
