It’s Hard to Do Business With Key Stakeholders Who Don’t Want To (9/1/2020) - This is a short post because the point is simple: If you choose to do business with individuals who do not like to run their business with written agreements, good governance, and sound policies – it’s to your detriment.

Putting It All Into Focus (8/4/2020) - Here we are. We know our company has value and so does the trademark. That means I often look at it through a final set of lenses. Those are succinctly put: Offense Defense Increase value Other third party considerations (a/k/a Amazon told me to) Offense: Are we wanting to swat down people trying to pretend ... Read more

Ego or Economics? (7/28/2020) - Now we know that we are eligible for federal registration, and that we can afford it. But is it important? Is this a primary part of our business or not? What is your return on your investment for this product? In our pretend business, SCRUBBIEDUBS is our overall trademark, so that’s likely important. What if ... Read more

Know Your Numbers (7/21/2020) - After last week’s post, we know that for a federal trademark we need to have interstate commerce, often because we are selling across state lines.
