Ep 86 | Your Burning Legal Questions Answered by Creative Entrepreneur Attorney Paige Hulse
How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy
How to Trademark Your Business Name, Logo, and Slogan
Any part of your branding that you don't want to get sued for, you need to trademark. At the time of this recording, it takes approximately 15 months to trademark something. Do not ever file a trademark on your own. There is a reason why my legal insurance goes up as an intellectual property attorney. I have to pay more insurance to practice that area of law.
Attorney Paige Hulse joins us back on the podcast this week to answer your legal questions! If talking about this stuff either bores you or intimates you— then this is 100% for you! Paige is super down to earth, delightful, and makes the complex simple every time. We’re talking about everything from important verbiage you need in your Etsy shop policies, whether you need to trademark your shop name, the order of steps to set up your business, shop suspensions and lots more.
