5 Reasons Your Trademark is a WASTE OF MONEY - Trademark Mistakes

[@CarmenPerez-kz6rw]

I’ve won two cases on my own without a lawyer. One of the cases was federal.

[@TheRealYodaMC]

Your videos are so much help

[@jilltucker6865]

Is there a typical cost that one can expect when it comes to registering a trademark? $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000. I am looking at order of magnitude? Also, timing of when you register your business, when you apply for trademark, obtaining EIN, etc. What is the recommended order?

[@RuiZhang-y7c]

Great video to understand trademark application! Very helpful!

[@ChristiMeshell]

I wholeheartedly disagree! It is better to own the Trademark in your own personal name and license it for use to your LLC. Then then it is much safer. If the LLC fails you still own the Trademark. It also creates two separate pools of value - the business and the Trademark. You can add additional non exclusive licensees who can use the trademark and if you sell, you will get more money as the sale of the trademark would be separate from the sale of the business.

[@dialac1]

Thanks for this

Hey Aiden-I’m noticing a lot of companies, including major ones like Whole Foods and Amazon, no longer using a “TM” or “(R)” with their company name/logo, among a BIG growing number of other small brands (i.e. Whole Foods products) *NOT* using the trademark. This is very hard to research online, so I stumbled across your video here explaining why it may not be necessary. Have you noticed this too, or could you investigate or ask around and find out why so many companies are ditching it? I’d really appreciate it. And it seems like a big deal paradigm shift kind of thing. Thank you! Sincerely, -Sam

What should I expect for the cost of service and product registration? 🙏

[@lx95020]

In the USA the first-to-use has more rights than first-to-file. You can get a TM and years later someone else using "your name or logo" can invalidate your TM because they used it first in commerce. Sucks but that is the way it is....

[@Goldenluxeboutique]

Ohhh , good to know, thank you.

[@mariebo7491]

Love all of this! Thank you! Question on point #3. I have a brand and an online store(Shopify). I only plan to sell my branded items. But I have various types of items. Hoodies, mugs, t-shirts, anything I can get printed on. Could I use the class 35 or do I need to list the separate classes and pay for each class?

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Love it, an attorney telling you, don't trust the internet ❗️🤣

[@allupinyobiz]

Yup they taught us that one in law school 😄

[@tonetone7693]

@@allupinyobizIf I register my trademark as an individual can I change it to an LLC later? And can I add another name (or multiple names) to my LLC or trademark when the change occurs?

[@Unknown_Random_Guy]

Ok, when is the DATE OF FIRST USE? We need to know!

[@anniekhan4893]

[@goodnessalwayswins]

It's easy to change your tm from yr name to yr business name it just costs I think a hundred dollars. Just change it in time

[@morningcoffee1111]

What trademark class is an online business? 35?

[@morningcoffee1111]

Here’s a video opportunity, “how to deal with fictitious accounts using your name and photo for scams”. I’ve clicked through that response with the number to call and can see that it’s a fake account so I reported it. But what *you do as a lawyer and KZbinr to handle it could be a useful video.

What is the big deal about only puttingthe trademark in your name and using it. In your business? Can't I just grant myself my business? The privilege to use it?

[@zolitalallo7570]

Good I fo

[@AS-oj3cw]

Does this mean you can't trademark something until you put the good or service out to the public? Seems like you odd you can't trademark something then release it

[@bemacoulibaly2147]

2:30 the wrong owner: bema, we got the right owner

[@bemacoulibaly2147]

[@jennyvillalta3683]

Soo... if you want to sell a toy that you created on amazon, do you need a Trademark? DBA???

[@allupinyobiz]

I answered your question in my new video! Check it out at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKuXo4hmhsmqi5o.

[@TheKeyToMusicOfficial]

4 and a half minutes of BS to get something you can say in 1 sentence.

[@MarioBasketballWorkouts]

What was the sentence?

[@greg.peepeeface]

Hopefully more of these video's get produced with the advent of AGI because Google is taking copyrighted content, which is why there's a currently a New York Times lawsuit against Google. So I wonder how far slogans, phrases, content can be trademarked (btw, also a fellow Coloradan).
