My Upcoming Seminar Presentation of "From Emblems to Empires"

At noon on October 21, I will be presenting my seminar, "From Emblems to Empires: Using Trademarks to Promote, Protect, and Produce Business." The audience will be the members of IMPACTJax, a young professionals' group that is part of the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce.

I will be discussing the importance of promoting a business name by building a brand name. The goodwill and reputation should then be protected through trademark or patent registration. Only then can defensive and offensive strategies have any teeth against potential infringers. Once a business achieves a level of success with those trademarked or patented assets, I explain why franchising the operation is among other options for expanding the business. In the alternative, for entrepreneurs interested in minimizing the risk of owning a business, I also discuss the advantages of buying a franchise.

RSVP to megan.champion@myjaxchamber.com by October 17, so I will know how many mouths to feed.

Unable to make it on October 21? Contact me to see when this seminar will be presented at a venue near you.
