On the one hand, you want to get as much protection for your brand as possible as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, trademark registration is expensive, and funds are very tight when you\u2019re just getting started.<\/p>\n<p>I favor taking a balanced approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you\u2019re just getting started<\/strong>, the risk of people deliberately stealing your trademark is low, and your biggest priority is getting people to buy your product.<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, I usually advocate waiting until you have some market recognition and some cash in the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Once those two things happen, you\u2019re in a better position to pursue trademark registration.<\/p>\n<h2>Possible Complications<\/h2>\n<p>But are there circumstances that would cause you to push up your timeline?<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are typically two reasons to register as soon as possible<\/strong> (that I\u2019ve encountered; I\u2019m sure there are other reasons that haven\u2019t crossed my desk yet).<\/p>\n<p>First, you may have a reason to be particularly worried about infringers.<\/p>\n<p>If you think someone else is going to try to use your mark in the near future, you want to register as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The first person to register the mark almost always wins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A side note:<\/strong> the more unique your trademark is, the less likely someone else will accidentally infringe.<\/p>\n<p>Walnut Creek Law Office is about as generic as it gets, and five different attorneys could use it without realizing they\u2019re not the first ones to think of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Supercalifragilistic Law Office is a lot more interesting, and it\u2019s less likely someone else will come up with it. In addition, unique trademarks get a lot more protection under trademark law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second, you may be looking for investors who will invest in your company<\/strong>. Registered trademarks look good to investors and may increase your chances of catching their interest.<\/p>\n<p>(Word to the wise, registered patents and copyrights will also increase your chances.)<\/p>\n<p>If you want investors to invest in your company, then registering your trademark early is a smart idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, if one of the reasons above applies to you<\/strong>, you should probably start thinking about registering your trademark in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, you can plan to revisit the topic when your business is a bit bigger.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to register your trademark now or discuss whether this is the right time for you, you\u2019re welcome to reach out to me at <a href=\"mailto:kaway@kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kaway@kawaylaw.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to read more articles like this one Writer\u2019s Fun Zone? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/contact-beth\/#signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscribe here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/07\/what-do-i-need-to-know-about-the-california-consumer-privacy-act-ccpa-by-kelley-way\/kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"kawaylaw.com noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19891 tc-smart-load-skip tc-smart-loaded\" title=\"Kelley Way\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-240x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB.jpg 700w\" alt=\"Kelley Way\" width=\"150\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kelley Way was born and raised in Walnut Creek, California.
