If you are selling a product or a service YOU NEED A TRADEMARK! Not trademarking your name, logo or slogan is leaving the most important part of your business vulnerable to be copied or registered by someone else. If you're going back and forth about whether you need to register your trademark, think about all of the hard work, time and persistence that it took to get where you are. Now think about how you would feel if someone copied your brand or sent you a cease and desist letter for your own brand. With A.C. Smith Law on your team, we will work to give your brand the protection it deserves!
