FAQs

Do I need a trademark or copyright?

Trademarks protect brand identifiers (names, logos, slogans). Copyright protects original creative works (copy, photos, music, video, code). Many businesses need both.

When should I file a trademark?

As soon as you have a distinctive name and intend to use it in commerce. Early filing preserves priority and avoids expensive rebrands.

Can you take down copycats on marketplaces/social?

Yes. We prepare evidence packages and submit platform-specific takedowns (Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) under trademark/copyright policies.

Do you work on flat fees?

Most filings and common enforcement actions are flat-fee. Complex matters are scoped up front so there are no surprises.
