Patents. Trademarks. Copyrights. Trade secrets. Do you keep track of your IP assets? 📄 Maintaining a list—or better yet, a detailed portfolio—of your business’s “invisible equity” is essential to keeping those items protected. It helps you stay organized, of course, but also keeps you on top of deadlines, refiling requirements, license renewals, and other steps that are necessary to retain your IP rights. 🔒 An updated inventory also serves as an invaluable reference point when making important business decisions, like exploring partnerships or developing new products and services. At Lankford Law Firm, we love helping clients take stock of their intellectual property. Seeing the full scope of what gives a brand its competitive edge almost always reveals something new—and makes it much easier to spot both risks and opportunities. 💡 When was the last time you took inventory of your business’s IP? If it’s been a while, consider earmarking an hour this week to review your assets. You might be surprised by what’s been overlooked.

The TTAB recently denied a petition to cancel the registration for "WHY PAY A LOT FOR STORAGE?"—a case that highlights the importance of clear trademark ownership and the risks of abandonment. Originally, the mark was jointly owned by two brothers, Michael and David Postar, who split their business in 2017. After the split, neither used the mark, and it wasn’t specifically assigned in their mediation agreement. In 2019, David’s company, Gargoyle Management, resumed use and registered the mark. Michael challenged the registration, but the Board found that the mark had been abandoned and was free for new adoption. This decision underscores the need for explicit agreements regarding intellectual property during business dissolutions. If trademarks aren’t clearly assigned and used, they may be deemed abandoned and open for others to claim. Have you encountered similar IP challenges during a business split? How do you ensure your trademarks are protected? https://lnkd.in/e4UQydJB Comment below or DM me to discuss best practices for trademark management. #TrademarkLaw #IntellectualProperty #BusinessLaw
