Started a Business without Consulting a Trademark Lawyer?

Planning to start your own business? Hiring a business lawyer is probably the first thing that you should do. Business lawyers will not only advise you on the legalities of setting up a business, but can also help you set it up. They will also help you smoothly transition into the upcoming years.

However, in the start-up phase, when you have yet to register a name for your business, seeking the advice of a trademark lawyer is crucial. Nothing helps you navigate the murky waters of business law better.

How a Business Lawyer can Spell Success for your Start-up

Trademarks, logs or taglines are things that define your company. It is unique and is a way for your customers to identify you instantly. Therefore, as the name suggests, a trademark lawyer helps in registering your trademark.

Benefits of Hiring a Trademark Lawyer

  1. If any other firm tries to sue you for trademark infringement, then you are bound to lose both profitability and reputation. Hence, it is crucial that every name and mark that is associated with your company, products and services are legally protected against any kind of breach. To do this, you need a trademark lawyer who can handle the start-up application and its processing on your behalf.
  2. The process that involves the registration of a trademark is complicated. Getting an identity for your business is not as easy as it seems. One has to search the records and make sure that there are no potential conflicts with the trademarks of other companies. A trademark lawyer is trained for such a comprehensive search and can ensure that you do not face any penalties in the future for trademark violations.
  3. You may feel comfortable to choose your trademark through an online service. However, the results of these sites are not credible, nor are they comprehensive at all. You may end up entangled in a lawsuit for infringement. So, it’s always best to get a trademark lawyer so that he/she can go through all National, Federal, and Common law records to make sure you stand on safe ground while using your chosen trademark.
  4. If you plan to handle the application process on your own, proceed with caution. The process that is involved in the registration of a trademark is heavily loaded with legal aspects that an ‘average Joe’ may ignore. Consequently, you may end up unknowingly violating someone else’s trademark, or leaving yourself vulnerable to others to easily infringe on your trademark. A lawyer, on the other hand, who has a fairly good knowledge of this field will know each and every aspect of the application and how it should be handled.

One way to get a trademark lawyer is to get references from other start-up businesses. Before you make a final decision, try to get a review of the lawyer of your choice. Credible information on the lawyer’s past can help you choose wisely.
