About this listen
When starting a business, choosing the perfect name is one of the most exciting and crucial decisions you’ll make. You want a name that tells customers what you do, is easy to remember, and stands out in the marketplace. Here’s the catch: if your name is too generic or merely descriptive, you could be walking straight into a trademark trap that leaves you legally vulnerable and unprotected.
You don’t have to be practiced at the art of deception and have an infringing name to be denied trademark protection. Many business owners don’t realize this issue until it’s too late. Imagine investing thousands in branding, signage, and marketing only to discover that your business name can’t be legally protected. Worse yet, a competitor could use the same or a similar name, and you’d have no legal recourse.
