TM Law for Authors (and other creative people)

Title: Intellectual Property for Entrepreneurial Authors

Subtitle: Part 1: Trademark and Branding

 

Entrepreneurial Authors face a very unique set of branding challenges. Branding yourself and your products is tricky enough, but when it comes time to protect that investment of time, money, and emotion authors can be surprised to find out they missed some critical elements of brand planning – the factors relating to Trademark Law. 

 

Creative Business Attorney, Kevin E. Houchin, Esq. will give you a foundational knowledge of what to do to protect your current brands and strategies and factors to consider when planning to launch new brands.

I’m one of those guys that believe things happen for a reason, even when those things are painful. I’ve faced my own financial challenges and learned a great deal from them, including that the only way to be really secure in your employment is to be working for yourself, following your true calling and making the contribution that you alone are uniquely qualified to make.

Next book approved

I just received word that my publisher has approved my proposal for my next book. My first book, Fuel the Spark: 5 Guiding Values for Success in Law School and Beyond is in final pre-production and will be officially released in March 2009. The next book has a working title of “The Secrets of Creative Business.”

I’m very happy about this. Now I just need to finish the manuscript. My goal is to release the book in the Summer of 2009.  I’ll keep you posted.
