psst... listen up
Ready for something shocking?
You can use either red or white wine grapes to make white wine. (I know, mind blowing).
But really, did you know that you don’t really own your brand ... at least not until it’s trademarked.
This means right now someone could start using the exact same course name as you and you couldn’t do a thing about it — unless it was trademarked.
What’s worse is, they could file for a trademark registration and then send you a Cease and Desist Letter. Now you have to rebrand your entire offer or business (even if you’ve been using that name for years) because they now own it. I've seen this happen too many times...it always breaks my heart.
The problem is though, most people don’t file a trademark until they see another coach using the exact same name as their program.
Then slight panic sets in and an urgent message of “I need to trademark this NOW” comes through.
So, let me ask you, if you are building a business or brand with a name you love, would you be upset (or downright pissed off) if you found out you couldn’t use it anymore and needed to rebrand?
If the answer is yes, keep reading.

First ThingsFirst...
What is a trademark?
A trademark is a designation of the source of goods or services (i.e., who made it or provides it). It’s not necessarily your business name but could be!
It is a word, phrase, symbol, or design (or combination) that distinguishes the goods or services of one party so that the public knows who is selling it.
Your MARK is usually related to a product or service that you're selling or want to sell in the future (yep, you can reserve your trademark even if you aren't selling yet)!
Here are some trademarks you've probably heard of...
B-School®
Marie Forleo's online course - courses and coaching are the services
Absolut®
Spelling and bottle shape is trademarked, the product is vodka 🍸
LITERALLY®
One of ours! This is an awesome by Ms. Lacey Sites, super coach and client (go listen!)
What Does Having aRegistered Trademark Do?
A LOT.
That's why The Kardashians have over 700 of them.
There are a ton of amazing benefits that come with registering a trademark. Here are just a few!
POWER & CONFIDENCE
Legal power that is, if a competitor starts using it or something similar, you can stop them in their tracks (like magic)! And just knowing that, allows you to build your business with a ton o' confidence.
OWNERSHIP
With a registered trademark, you OWN the 'mark' — meaning the name — for use in your area of goods or services. And THAT puts you on the map.
YOU GET THE ®
Only with a registered trademark can you use the ® symbol in your branding and that lets the world know it's yours.
EXPERT STATUS
Nothing says EXPERT like owning your intellectual property and that leads to more visibility and sales.

Kind Words
Working with Sarah to get our company name and products trademarked couldn't have been an easier process if we tried.
All I had to do was ask Sarah for a trademark and she handled all the rest of the details with impeccable communication throughout the process.
We've been able to secure 4 trademarks successfully by working with Sarah. Her legal expertise shone through whenever an obstacle popped up during the process and we easily landed all our requested trademarks.
Receiving trademarks has given us the security of knowing that our company name and product names are protected as we continue to grow and build brand recognition for our company under those names.
— shay & Cassie, Bucketlist Bombshells®
A sincere thank you for making the trademarking process smooth and painless and for taking that off my plate so I didn't have to worry about doing it right.
I feel really good knowing that I'm protecting the future of my brand and business and it gives me a secure foundation to grow upon. I appreciate it very much.
— Tory Wegner, Holistic Ways®, Health Spa Services
"Getting my trademark with Destination Legal was one of the best decisions I've made in my business."
The process was so easy and stress free, not to mention it was so empowering to know I had the right support on my side and that I didn't have to navigate it on my own. I had heard horror stories and knew I wanted to protect myself and make sure the process went well.
Not only did the process go well, but I feel like a true CEO having my business name protected and the peace of mind it has given me has been priceless. If you're thinking about trademarking I couldn't recommend Destination Legal enough!

The truth is, this little ® packs such a BIG punch. A lot of my 7-figure clients are working on getting their 3rd, 4th, and even 5th registered trademark. Don't let another year go by where you sit on the sidelines where every other coach or business owner around you seems to be skyrocketing. THIS can help YOU join the ranks.
Don’t wait any longer, the longer you wait, the higher the chance someone beats you to the trademark office.
Trademarks are the secret weapon my clients are using to blow up their businesses and get rockstar expert status at the same time.
