On JeKwenta Primm Access Granted Podcast we got into some Trademark Tea & Tips!

One of the biggest misconceptions among business owners is believing they can secure trademark security after they’ve already launched. By then, you may have invested thousands of dollars into your business through products, packaging, marketing, signage, websites, and promotional materials.

If another party files a trademark application for your brand name, you may have prior use rights—but enforcing those rights can become significantly more expensive than filing for trademark security from the start.

A proactive trademark strategy can help protect your investment, reduce unnecessary legal expenses, and position your business for long-term growth.

Lionel Richie is taking steps to secure one of the most recognizable assets in entertainment, his voice.

The legendary singer recently filed trademark applications for sound recordings featuring iconic phrases and lyrics from songs like “Hello,” “All Night Long,” “Easy,” and “Say You, Say Me.” His filings come just months after Taylor Swift sought trademark protection for specific recordings of her voice and likeness.

What’s interesting is that Lionel Richie is not new to brand security. Over the years, he has secured trademarks related to his name, logos, and merchandise, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to securing the business behind the brand.

Here’s where it gets interesting: trademark law doesn’t automatically secure a person’s entire voice. Instead, applicants must show that consumers associate specific sounds, phrases, or recordings with them as a source identifier. They have to have certain words attached to sound like “you got mail” or whistle like Harlem Globe Trotters.

Foul or Fair? Should celebrities be able to trademark signature voice clips and catchphrases in the age of AI?

A trademark dispute is brewing between food delivery giant DoorDash and Long Island-based heating oil platform OilDash.

DoorDash has reportedly filed a trademark opposition with the USPTO, challenging OilDash’s attempt to secure trademark rights for its brand name. While both companies use the word “Dash,” they operate in very different industries. DoorDash focuses on food delivery, while OilDash provides homeowners with heating oil monitoring, alerts, and delivery services.

OilDash has stated that it remains confident in its position and believes its services are distinct from DoorDash’s offerings.

This case is also a reminder that even businesses operating in different industries can encounter trademark challenges when building and securing their brands.
