Welcome to Episode 193 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we discuss trademarks with Andrei Mincov whose company, Trademark Factory,® offers trademarking services with guaranteed results for a guaranteed budget. Trained as a lawyer, Andrei became passionate about intellectual property after helping his Russian composer father fight a radio station that stole his music. He explains how intellectual property rights were designed to help the “little guy” and walks us through how to decide if you need a trademark, the best time to file it and if you need to consider filing for a trademark outside your own country. As part of our discussion, Andrei shares his thoughts on the mindset you need to become successful and how a trademark can positively affect how you treat your brand. If you’ve ever wondered if you need a trademark for your business name, Andrei’s detailed, easy-to-understand explanation is a great place to start.



So if you want to know:

– The importance of finding out if your company or product name is even “trademarkable”

– How domain names, LLCs or incorporations don’t really protect your brand

– Questions to ask to determine if you need to file a trademark beyond your home country

– The biggest mistakes small businesses make when it comes to trademarking

– The five factors for any successful business
