Should your blog be trademarked? These are the things that we don’t always want to think about but realizing how important it is can help. Our guest today, Whitney Bower, is an intellectual property lawyer who specializes in trademark and copyright. She has made it her mission to help the social media entrepreneurs, including bloggers.  Whitney shares why bloggers need to be trademarked, how to find out if your blog name is already taken, when we should start the application process (earlier the better), how long it takes to become trademarked, intent to use (ITU) filing, the risks of not being trademarked, and how you can go about getting a trademark. Whitney shares valuable information with you that you can benefit from. She shares how you can work with her (one on one or through her course) in order to be sure that your brand/blog is trademarked.
