I have a Marketing Agency under the name EnvyInk. I've owned the domain since 2008, and it has been incorporated for 3 years and 4 months. I was approached by a company called Right Trademark, they said, someone else wanted to trademark my name. They kept hounding me and said if I did nothing, I would forfeit the name to use, even with it having an EIN number and filing status with the IRS. Since I had rights to it first, they offered me services. The company is fraudulent "opinion" as they returned and demanded more money than what was paid. Would I still be able to operate with the name without a trademark for only the name?
Crystal clear!
What it means the application accept
Great video. Thank you
How does OpenAI's structure work in these examples? They obviously "send themselves money" constantly.
This series is very helpful!
have a question for you once a trademark application reaches the goods that are the trademark Journal for public opposition is it very likely that that trademark will be approved unless the person opposing it already has the current trademark are has had the trademark in the past? thank you for your advice and input.
Hey can a fiscal sponsor look for grants for his partner organization and forward the funds to this junior organization?
My first view of your channel. I was really hoping the "referee" shirt was your channel's "trademark" signature, but it looks like you own other shirts. How disappointing. 😜
Nice shirt libtard
What's the difference in irs reporting hassles for a c3 vs c6.

Hi, nice explanation. I have a question, can severability clause be used to invalidate governing law of contract in a state which doesn't recognize or opposes the governing law mentioned in the contract?
You are a very great teacher. Was really helpful
🤑
Love these videos; keep them coming!
Great info here! 👍
What happens if you file the Trademark as Use in Commerce but through the review it is determined it should have been an Intent to Use, can the application be updated or a new application would need to be submitted (additional fee)? Thank you!
Great information! Does use in commerce mean there had to actually for monetary exchange? I know that may seem like a silly question, but there are some services where you provide the service in an effort to get your reputation/name out and provide the service to market . Thank you in advance.
How do you show proof of a software company? The app has to be out?
very helpful, super thanks

Thanks for sharing this!
I gave you a thumbs up for your discussion of protecting rights, but the street runs both ways. You should also talk about the thousands, probably millions, of erroneous takedown notices by rich bullies who leverage their legal remedies way beyond the law. The DMCA makes it easy to eliminate competition, even if that competition is unique and original. Is a creator going to fight for their design on a tee shirt that they have made a profit of $5 so far and go up against a multi-millionaire goliath? Your 60% is probably more like 90%, even for people who have not violated any rights.
this dudes the real mvp
I'm starting orphanages. What I've learned up to this point is: If you want the 501(C3) off your back, get an agent/attorney/CPA organization whose business is to do these things. Then accept donations, and they will remind you to update them every month with all of the new activity. My guess is they will make good money on due to their automation and having employees whose sole responsibility to that type of work, who can do in minutes what would take you several hours or require you to hire another person and distract from what you do. If you take the cost and divide it across the money you saved by not paying them, you might find your hourly wage would have 3rd-world factory workers laughing at you.
Thanks for the info and effort.

Thanks. This helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
In theory, if I just had my mocked up designs on my computer because my business won’t be up and running until 3-4 months, could I just get plain products and print on the words I want to trademark and claim that the word/logo is already in commerce ? lol
nice explanation
