Summary
If you have an online business -- consultant, coach, course-creator, thought leader or perhaps a traditional business with an online presence -- you're in the intellectual property (IP) business. Confused about Artificial Intelligence/AI? Whether you have a trademark, copyright, framework, or invention to protect, or other innovative idea, you must make sure it's done right, or you're out of business. You're also pressed for time. Being an online entrepreneur or a digital content creator brings daily business and technical challenges. But do you hope that legal challenges will somehow never fall into your lap? Perhaps you know someone who's received a "demand and bill" from a stock photo or video provider? Maybe you've had your Amazon account frozen or ad removed? Or, even received a trademark or copyright cease and desist letter? On the other hand, you have original content you want to protect: your course and training materials, marketing materials, webpage content/copy, images, video and other designs? Similarly, your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) defines and differentiates your business. And, when your USP is copied, YOU are the victim of what's plagiarized. I know what it's like because my businesses are online businesses, and my content -- well, it's my creative expression. And, as a business owner, my own IP issues crop up all the time. Whether you want to protect your intellectual content, or are forced to defend yourself from an aggressive competitor, you can call me knowing that your concerns are held strictly private and that my advice is backed with nearly 25 years of real-world intellectual property experience. Perhaps you're reading this now because you're about to launch a new product and want to protect its marketing, branding, and creative frameworks -- maybe you're even developing software that incorporates artificial intelligence? If so, you've probably heard a lot of rumors and 'folk advice' about what can and can't be protected -- especially about patents. You may have even heard that it's not possible to protect Apps and software, or marketing materials, or frameworks or designs or . . . That's just ***! Every day I help entrepreneurs like you with copyrights, trademarks, design rights, patents & more. As an entrepreneur and patent holder myself, I deliver a business-perspective to protecting your IP. And it probably costs a lot less than you think. So let's explore how you capture that intellectual property by setting up a consultation: 214-502-5923, or at www.speakwiththrasher.com
