When you build a restaurant, bar, coffee shop, or bed & breakfast, your focus is on great food, atmosphere, and service. But many small business owners overlook one critical step—trademark protection. Without a registered trademark, your brand name or logo could be copied, leading to customer confusion and costly disputes.

If you’ve ever worried about forgetting a renewal date, you’re not alone. The good news is that with the right systems in place, you can stay on top of deadlines and protect your intellectual property without the stress.
