You worked hard to develop your content, brand, and logo, to figure out your unique selling proposition, and to distinguish your goods and services from your competitors'.  Now protect them!

During the workshop we'll talk about:

• Different kinds of intellectual property (for example trademarks and copyrights)

• How to protect your content, brand, and logo, why you want to protect them, and when's the right time to do so. 

We'll also share our Trademark Registration Guide which includes FAQs of trademark considerations and when trademark registration should be at the top of your priority list.
