[@prateeksabharwal7325]

Things to get before you go for a pitch: Trademarks; Patents (if applicable) Numbers to know before you go for a pitch: 1. Amount you have put in till date. 2. Break up of the money spent. 3. Cost to produce per unit (in case of a product) 4. Sales of each year. 5. Sales growth. 6. Customer acquisition cost. 7. Customer re-order rate. 8. Customer drop out rate. 9. Profit margin. 10. Scope of decrease in cost/increase in margin. 11. Projection for next 3 years and the basis of valuation. 12. What you need the money for. 13. What expertise you look for from the shark.

[@rickyjanzen6684]

How hard is it to trademark? Seems this happens a few times and the sharks always majorly balk at it and is a reason they frequently back out. If it's a fairly simple and cheap process, just make it a term of the deal and it should be sorted pretty easily.

[@carlp5391]

Most startups will not invest in the cost of a trademark until such time it is necessary. It is important however to do a name search and if clear you can register the name in your country as a domain name, which would serve as protection in the eyes of the law in the event you are involved in any legal actions

I dont get it in aus you register the buisness name with the government and you can check this on the website if name is free and you pay a fee each year to keep it. Thats if the name is available to trade in aus.

[@Locutus]

Registered name and trademark are different. If I call my company Shark Tank LTD, I can check the database to see if Shark Tank LTD if free. If it's free - happy days, I can register it. Now, someone called Dragons' Den LTD may actually have a trademark called "Shark Tank" and that's what they use to brand their TV shows as. Think of Apple and iPhone - there is no company called iPhone. iPhone is a trademark of Cisco Systems, Inc, and Cisco licences the iPhone trademark out to Apple. A trademark can be the name of a product, or a slogan, a logo, even a name of business. Does that help?

[@potatotomatoe]

The trademark issue is not really an issue. They've been using the name for 3 years and own the domain. Common law will cover them.

[@worfsonofmogh1154]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean somebody won't sue anyway. Legal fees and time dealing with even a frivolous case and insurance is quite costly---not to mention if somebody saw the show and exploited the opportunity.

[@potatotomatoe]

​@@worfsonofmogh1154 Still should not be an issue for the investor in this case. If they weren't sued before coming to the tank (which seems to be the case), then they can file it after coming to the tank (before the episode aired). My point still holds that they essentially own the trademark under common law and will just have to formalize it. Is it bad they don't "own" the trademark? Yeah. But to act like everything hinges on it (i.e. Jeanine) is quite ridiculous.

@@Kris_Aalst That's actually extremely common in the entertainment business... Most of the pitches/acts in a season weren't even filmed in the same day, month, or even year and they're never shown sequentially in the order they were filmed in...

[@DrakeOola]

You clearly understood nothing about the deal... It drops to 10% when 'paid off' and they also have no obligation to pay it off if the business flops. They have to give a portion of profit from each sale but by the time it gets paid off they'll already be swimming in money. 200k dollars basically risk free and they ONLY pay it off if the business is successful plus they get all the contacts and experience of the sharks they're working with and the public exposure from the tv episode... Completely invaluable and it's only 10% of the company when having two sharks is guaranteed to double or triple the business exposure easily. You're stupid if you think that's a bad deal...
