Cameron Parks Authors Article on Trademark Considerations for New Businesses in the Orlando Business Journal

Cameron Parks, an attorney in Shutts & Bowen LLP’s Orlando office, recently authored an article in the Orlando Business Journal, sharing trademark tips for entrepreneurs starting a new business venture.

In the article, Cameron breaks down key tasks to be performed at the forefront of kickstarting a business, including preliminary searches and due diligence related to naming conventions for emerging businesses. She also details, from both state and federal perspectives, the importance of protecting a brand by applying for trademark protection from the onset. Cameron also notes that although trademark registration is beneficial, it can be a complex process, consisting of multiple steps, as well as time-sensitive maintenance requirements post-registration, which may be important to discuss with a trademark attorney.

“In developing a brand for your business, it is important to keep in mind that trademark registration, specifically at the federal level, provides, among other benefits, broad protection, a deterrent for potential infringers and overall brand strength,” Cameron explains.
