Did you know you can operate a business and not own the rights to the name?
Yep! There are a ton of misconceptions when it comes to brand protection. For example, an LLC does not protect your brand name nor does a domain name. You don’t own the exclusive rights to your brand, until you file a federal trademark.
Let me show you how to do this the right way.

What to Know About Trademarks
What can / should be federally trademarked?
You can trademark a name, slogan, logo, hashtag, etc., for a product and/or service that you’re promoting on behalf of your business. So, if you have a podcast, a course, a boutique clothing brand, or coaching program, you can trademark the name to exclude your competitors from using it.
Who needs a trademark?
- Have you invested time, money and resources into a product or service sold through the US and other markets?
- Are afraid someone will take and register the name before you do?
- Are concerned someone will offer a similar product or service and steal market share from you before you get started?
- Are you worried a competitor could trademark a name before you and cause you to spend more time and money on a rebrand?
If you answered “Yes,” to any of these, then you need to protect your brand ASAP!!

By the way, I'm Bobby, The Influencer Attorney.
I help creative brands scale their business by reducing the risk and maximizing the return of collaboration with influencers through solid legal safeguards.
I get why influencer marketing is attractive. Great ROI - opposed to traditional advertising. But, there’s no ROI worth adversely impacting the brand because of a lack of solid contracts, intellectual property (IP) standards or training on FTC Social Media Endorsement Guidelines. Brands no longer have to choose great ROI over legal compliance, when they can engage The Influencer Attorney.
As an experienced business and social media attorney, I’ve helped creative brands develop the right infrastructure to help scale, while reducing its risk of FTC penalties and/or fines. Whether it's drafting an internal social media policy, assembling contract templates for influencer agreements, cease and desist letters, and more, or conducting FTC Social Media Endorsement Guidelines training or audits, I’m here to zealously advocate and protect the brand - so that you can focus on being creative and dynamic, while achieving your sales goals.
Let’s get moving.
Please fill out the contact form and I’ll respond shortly. I look forward to working with you!
