Happy World Intellectual Property Day! The day is

Happy World Intellectual Property Day! The day is celebrated to raise awareness of the impact of patents, copyright, trademarks, and design on our daily lives. The role of intellectual property rights is used to encourage innovation and creativity in societies across the globe.

What are Intellectual Property Rights? Intellectual property is an array of exclusive rights granted by law to the creators and owners of intellectual creations, to incentivize innovation. These works are called "intellectual" because they are produced by the human mind and can only be replicated or communicated through a process of thought. They include inventions, design rights, copyright, and even more tangibly, patents.

As a trademark and copyright attorney, I work with and for some wonderful people to protect their intellectual property. As a serial entrepreneur, I know that ah-ha feeling when you create something new and wonderful will make a difference in the lives of the people you are called to serve with your business.

As we take time today to celebrate World Intellectual Property Day, I want to invite you to join me this Sunday at 2 PM Pacific, as I share some of the top mistakes business owners make and how to avoid them. Protecting your Intellectual Property will definitely be part of the conversation! It’s a free webinar, you’ll have the chance to ask me some questions, and you’ll get access to the replay! Click the link in my bio to sign up right now! See you there 😊

As you’re scrolling through Instagram 🤳🏾,

As you’re scrolling through Instagram 🤳🏾, you notice a picture that looks really familiar.

Using your detective skills 🕵🏽‍♀️ , you confirm that picture is one you took and that person doesn’t have permission to be using it.

But what can you do??

Well, there are actually a few things you can do:
-consult an attorney who specializes in copyrights and intellectual property (ps - that’s what I do)
-reach out to the owner of the account or website who is using your work without permission and ask them to remove it (be sure to take screenshots of everything in case you need it as proof)
-file a DMCA Takedown Notice (grab one from my contract shop if you need one: (https://www.legalpadcontracts.com/dmca-takedown-notice)

Did you completely understand that last contract y

Did you completely understand that last contract you signed?

I’d be willing to bet the answer is no...or that you didn’t read the contract and just took the person who sent it at their word.

Real Talk: Neither of those are great answers and can put you and your business at risk. You’ve worked too damn hard to build your business. Don’t let some careless mistake like not reading or understanding something you signed take it all away.

It's time to #GetYourShitTogether
