398 - Trademarking Your Web Design Business with Ann Koppuzha

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

Ever wondered if you should trademark your business?
There are a lot of reasons you may consider it:

• You may want to sell your business one day.
• You might want to make sure no one can take your brand name with no grounds for legal action on your end.
• You might have a productized service or product you want to sell eventually.
• You may just want full control over your brand as a whole.

For all those reasons and more, you might be wondering if you should trademark and what the process is.
To help with that, I’m excited to bring, back onto the podcast, personal legal commandant Ann Koppuzha who recently helped me get Web Designer Pro® officially trademarked!
We walk through the entire process, what to do and what to expect.
Again, whether or not you want to sell your business one day, there are many reason you might want to consider OWNING your brand name or a product or service that you offer.
