Your brand might not be as protected as you think. I'm Julie King with King Patent Law, and today I'm showing you how to audit your trademark protection in 2026.

Let's walk through five critical questions you need to ask about your trademarks.

Question one: What are you using versus what's registered?

Question two: Have you expanded into new categories?

Question three: Are you using the ® symbol correctly?

Question four: Do you own your domains and social handles?

Question five: Are there trademark squatters or infringers?

I go over how to answer these questions and what to do about your answers.

These five questions will help you identify gaps in your trademark protection.
