When signing a contract sign as your business not as you!

This came up for a client the other day, and while this person was doing the right thing and utilizing contracts in their business they were signing as themselves NOT as the business..

And while that seems to be a simple mistake or like no biggie, it ended up being an issue when a dispute arose between my client and a customer. The customer hired an attorney and that attorney argued that my client was personally on the hook for any amount of damages possibly owed, not her business…there were a few other factors at play here but the fact that the contract was signed between my client and the customer as individuals was a huge plus for their argument…

So if you want to avoid personal liability within your business aside from having a business entity and treating what you do as such, you should also be signing all contracts as the business not as yourself. Simple detail, but important!

Questions? Let’s hear them in the comments!

I mean this may be obvious to some…but if you’re new around here or new to the business world this is THE biggest (well arguably the most important) benefit of obtaining federal trademark registration with the .

This is huge especially if your business has an online presence at all. If you rely on common law rights in your mark, that is geographically limited to the area your business is actually located, even if you’re online.

With the way businesses operate these days you are almost inevitably visible to consumers all across the US heck the world! So having the ability to protect your brand name should be a huge loop priority for you. Plus, don’t forget…

A federal registration gives you the presumption of validity in your trademark. This is a fancy way of saying if you have to file a trademark infringement suit, the infringing party has to prove that they had the rights to the mark, rather than you having to prove you do first. They will have to show first use, distinctiveness, or other ownership…

So remember your brand name/product names whatever you are using to identify your business to the world really needs to be protected with a federal trademark registration! Happy Tuesday

Nike and is suing LULU! What? Two of the biggest athletic brands going head to head…over what??

Nike has sued LuLu for patent infringement for making and selling the Mirror Home Gym and other related items. Nike believes LuLu has infringed on SIX (that’s a lot) of patents including the tech they have a patent on that enables users to target certain levels of exertion, compete with other users and of course keep track of their own performance.

Nike is claiming this infringement is willful, (shame on you if true LuLu) and is seeking triple damages plus many other remedies available to Nike should they prove their case.

What’s LuLu’s defense? It sounds like they are claiming that the patents in question are “broad” and therefore invalid so Nike has no actual claim to the tech at issue.

The price tag on a Mirror gym starts around $1200 so although LuLu has seen some disruption in supply chain due to Covid, they have also benefitted from Covid with the home gym technology…they may or may not have rights to use…

Definitely want to see how this turns out! Nike isn’t without it’s own blemishes, but if they are right then LuLu should be held accountable…I’ll be sure to keep you posted on this one!

Mmm I love a Friday! I am not a workaholic…am I constantly stressed thinking about all of the work I could be doing for my ? Absolutely. Is it healthy? Nope. But one of the things I do to help with that stress is to give myself a weekend…Saturdays are a no email (ok sometimes I fail at this but I try SO hard) no work, no business day for me! And what better city to have a weekend in than I love it here! There is always something going on and somewhere to be!

This weekend we have no plans which makes for a fantastic and relaxing kind of Saturday in my favorite city…What are you doing this weekend? And how do you cope with that ownership life stress? Let me know below!

Whoa almost missed it! Been crazy busy today BUT it’s still Wednesday so…

Bringing back the on Wednesday posts because it’s already mid January and I know we all started this month with a thousand and one projects and goals and if you’re anything like me…a lot of those have already fallen to the wayside…

But that doesn’t mean you should give up on all of them and fall back into your old ways (cough cough ) so I want to know what is it you’re working on this week! Is it a big goal or just a small task? Whatever the case it’s important and I am here to support! So sound off below and let’s support each other to keep getting after it!

Happy Wednesday!
