A strong brand can help you stand out in the uniquely competitive online landscape, and trademark registration is a pivotal tool to establish your brand online. Trademark registration not only gives you exclusive use of your name, logo, and taglines across the U.S. (and potentially the world), it also prevents others from using any brand too similar. Not to mention fast-tracking registry with private platforms like Amazon and YouTube.
It takes a team behind the scenes to get your business moving. Artists, programmers, social media managers, moderators – these contractors help you build your online presence from the ground up. The content and assets they create should be part of a fair and collaborative contract agreement, one that clearly states who will own the work product and intellectual property. DR&A can help you draft a personalized contractor agreement that addresses all the nuances of the content creator niche.

We’ll help you select the best entity for you – an LLC, a corporation, or something more niche – and file in your state of choice.
