🤔If I own the URL, do I still need to Trademark?

by | Oct 28, 2024 | Podcasts | 0 comments

One of my clients – let’s call her “Jada” (confidentiality!) had just snagged the perfect domain name (URL) for her new group program.

She felt like she’d claimed her turf. ⛳

But, that night, a friend told her that “owning the URL may not be enough to truly ‘own’ the name.

She asked me, “Is that true?…If I own the URL, do I still need to Trademark?”

 

If I own the url, do I still need a Trademark?

 

Lucky for Jada, I told her that I had an easy way to get her exact answer – and for f.r.e.e.

Just listen to my super-short podcast previously-aired Episode 62 here (it’s less than 13 minutes!)

It’s the quickest way to understand:

✅ The difference between owning a URL and having a trademarked brand name.

✅ Why savvy business owners snap up URLs with various endings.

✅ When it’s the right time to Trademark your brand.

✅ Actionable steps to take if you’re considering filing for a Trademark.

I didn’t want Jada (or you!) to experience the pain of someone copying the name you created (and wowza – that’s a doozy!) so it’s totally worth a listen.

🎧Pop in your earbuds or headphones and listen here so you can understand what owning a URL means and whether to Trademark.

Here’s to claiming your brand – and to protecting it wisely!
