You have big dreams for your business — and those dreams need protection in order to be made reality. You’re already on the right track by working with Garcia-Zamor to register trademarks for all of your branding elements!
Many of our clients have several registered trademarks. One great way to display your portfolio is with an organized presentation binder. You can display this binder in your place of business as a point of pride and use the display as a convenient way to go through your portfolio with investors and business partners.
The Advantage of Trademark Portfolios vs. One Trademark Registration
Creating a portfolio of registered trademarks for your business brands is complex and rewarding endeavor. These protected brands can include your company’s name for a start, as well as any slogans or distinct product names that you might need to trademark. Additionally, you should consider obtaining registered trademark protections for your product lines, product names, and slogans used often in advertising. You might have services specific to your company that have trademarked names. In addition, you may also wish to file trademark applications which include visual elements of your brand: your logo and unique packaging design. Then you might also need to register federal copyrights for the original art or writing on your website or in brochures.
As you can see, it’s easy to develop quite a list of the brand elements you need to protect. That’s why it’s smarter in the end to create a trademark portfolio rather than stopping at one single registered trademark. With a trademark portfolio, you can protect every aspect of your branding, keeping it unique and recognizable. You’ll be well armed against any attempts from your competition to try to use or mimic any part of your business identity without your consent.
The goal of developing a trademark portfolio is the create a number of mutually supporting different brands so that you can create a larger unique space within your industry in which only you can use certain branding. The goal is to have a large package of registered trademarks that collectively create and protect your unique business identity and, more importantly, increase the value of your business significantly over time.
When selling a business, creating a franchise, or opening another branch, having a good portfolio of multiple registered trademarks can significantly increase your business’s valuation.
