Last week, we talked about auditing your intellectual property (IP)—taking stock of everything you own and identifying any gaps.
Now that you’ve done the groundwork, it’s time for the next step: Protect.

As we approach a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect, reassess, and prepare for growth.

Starting 2025 on the right foot means laying a strong foundation for scaling your expertise.

As an expert with corporate clients, understanding the interdependence between contracts and copyrights is critical—not just for protecting your content, but for maximizing its value.

People often mix up copyrights and trademarks, but as intellectual property protections, they’re designed to serve different needs—and understanding these differences can help you maximize your business’s value.
