Before You Build Your Brand, Make Sure You Can Own It.
Your business starts with an idea. ShopLock helps you turn that idea into a brand worth protecting.
Before investing in a website, marketing, packaging, or advertising, it’s important to investigate whether your proposed brand name is available for trademark protection, whether a suitable website domain can be secured, and whether the name is available for your business entity.
ShopLock brings trademark research, domain-name planning, and business formation together in one coordinated process. Through Reda & Des Jardins, LLC, our attorneys help entrepreneurs evaluate potential conflicts, protect their developing brands, and establish a sound legal foundation before launching.
Three Steps to Lock In Your Brand
01 — Trademark Search & Protection
Before investing in a business name, website, or marketing campaign, it’s important to determine whether your proposed brand may conflict with existing trademark rights. Our attorneys research federal trademark records, evaluate potentially conflicting marks, and advise you on the availability and protection of your proposed brand, including federal trademark registration when appropriate.
02 — Domain Name Availability
Once we’ve evaluated your proposed trademark, the next step is securing your online identity. ShopLock helps you research available domain names through GoDaddy and other domain registrars, identify suitable website addresses, and evaluate alternatives when your preferred domain is unavailable. We’ll help you coordinate your domain name with your brand so customers can find and recognize your business online.
03 — Business Entity Formation
With your trademark and domain-name research underway, the final step is establishing the legal foundation for your business. Our attorneys help determine whether your proposed company name is available in your chosen state, advise you on forming an LLC or corporation, and prepare the necessary organizational documents. We’ll help you coordinate your business entity with your brand while addressing ownership, management, and liability considerations.
