This past week I went back to the first place I went for advice here at baruch, The Entrepreneurship Center. I had a meeting with the lawyer there instead of the entrepreneurial advisor. Our meeting consisted of a discussion around trademarks and patents because I plan to start a clothing line that most likely will require both. This is where I learned much about the process you must go through and came to the conclusion that I will not get a trademark yet instead I will utilize the “™️“ next to my brand name. Apparently when that logo is there it means it is not trademarked it is a common law mark which gives you authority in court over the name of the brand if it is well known. When you see a “®️“ that means it is a trademark because the “®️“ means registered. I didn’t know this as I know most people reading this didn’t either. I find that this center has helped me recieve much knowledge on my business strategies and plans. It has also given me a headstart to my intended major of business entrepreneurship.
