So you came up with a grand idea while at your girlfriends baby shower because you saw a problem that you could easily create a solution for. Better yet, no one has done this before.

You're probably going to be rich.

You come up with a super unique name and branding logo and get your product out into the market. Life is grand because you're selling out weekly......until you get a letter in the mail from someone 9827 miles away letting you know their company goes by the same name or sells the same or similar product?

Wait, and threatening to sue you?? Everybody wants to be a business owner but nobody wants to talk about the true legal risk. Join us as we chat with Millenial Biz Lawyer, Salma Benkabbou about when to trademark, when to get a lawyer, and how to prepare before you make a mistake.
