Lunch & Learn - Trademarks and Copyrights: The Basics for Small Businesses
Join us for this Lunch & Learn to better understand the basics of trademarks and copyrights and how they differ. Bring your own brown bag lunch and we will provide a drink and dessert. The workshop will include a discussion of: - How to select a trademark for your business that will be both federally registrable and protectable, highlighting factors critical when choosing a mark - How to avoid scams seeking payments for services not required by the USPTO - How to use images in promotional materials that will not be infringing the rights claimed by others - The importance of doing a complete search and whether to use an attorney - What to do if another trademark owner sends a “cease-and-desist” letter - What happens after trademark registration
