Trademarks in 2026: Still Worth It for Small Biz Owners?

Описание: In this video, I break down whether registering a trademark still makes sense in 2026 — especially if you’re a creator, coach, consultant, or small business owner. If you’re unsure whether it’s worth the money or if you can even do it yourself, this video will help you decide.

You’ll learn how to tell if your brand is ready for trademark protection, what could happen if you skip it, and the key questions to ask before investing in your brand’s legal foundation.
