SUMMARY:WE Forum: Creating Original Content and Legally Protecting it.
DESCRIPTION:So often you start your business on a slim budget and try to do as much as you can on your own. You know when it works and when it fails\, but often not until after the fact. The reality is that each of us must make decisions that make sense for where we are now\, while also considering how we see the business evolving in the future. Join us for a conversation with Sarah Miller of Whitespace and Matt Smyth of Headland Law about building your brand and ensuring that your business and your products are legally protected as you launch and grow. \n\n \n\nGet answers to questions such as:\n\n\n	How do you know from the beginning if you are missing something important in setting up your legal structure? \n	Is there a way to build a brand at the same time as you try to market a new business? Or does the company need some run time before being ready for professional branding? \n	How do you know when your business is outgrowing your self-help tool kit? When does it make sense to continue the DIY course? \n	Now that you are seeing some success\, should you file your business name as a trademark to protect it? \n	Can you use images that are in the public domain on your website? \n	Join us and get your own questions answered as well!\n\n\n-------\n\nThe WE Forum brings together women in business throughout the region who wish to share knowledge and resources to support new business creation and growth.This group is a collaboration by the Chamber\, RAEDI and the Kabara Institute of SMUMN.
