Happy February! It's the Perfect Time for an IP Audit!

February is here! It is the perfect time to pause, assess, and make sure your intellectual property is fully protected as you move through the year.

As your business evolves, your IP should evolve with it. An IP audit helps ensure that what you’re using, building, and promoting is properly protected and accurately reflected on the public record.

During an IP audit consultation, we can:

• Review your existing trademark registrations and pending applications
• Confirm your current use aligns with what’s registered
• Evaluate whether your goods and services are properly covered
• Ensure the ownership of your IP is accurate and up to date
• Identify what will be needed for upcoming patent or trademark renewals 
• Answer any IP questions you’ve been meaning to ask

Think of this as a legal check-up for your brand designed to catch issues early, strengthen your portfolio, and give you peace of mind.

If you haven’t reviewed your IP recently (or ever), February is a great time to get started. Scheduling a consultation now can help you avoid costly problems later and ensure your brand is positioned for growth in 2026 and beyond.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Protecting your trademark is critical. Often business owners do not register trademarks federally at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) because they are unsure of how to do so or because they do not understand the benefits of registering. It is more costly to not register- you may be required to change the name and destroy all goods, pay damages and pay your profits if it is determined that you are infringing on someone else’s trademark.

In All About Trademarks: Everything You Need to Know About Trademarks from a Former USPTO Trademark Examining Attorney, Andrea Hence Evans, Esq. uses her extensive experience and expertise in trademark law to provide you with the tools you need to understand how to protect your trademark at the USPTO and how to avoid making common mistakes.  This book is sure to help anyone looking to register their trademark and to help readers to understand how to navigate a trademark application successfully through the USPTO process.
