Owning a small business is no easy task. Add in being a parent, and the list of things to manage is endless. Here on The Happy Go Social podcast, we will talk all things marketing, business & life. This podcast is built for YOU, the small business owner-not marketers at giant companies with huge budgets (we do love ya'll though!).
Join Meg Glenn and her guests on Wednesdays to learn from other small business owners and marketers. You can grow your business, be a great parent, AND enjoy your life-it's totally possible. Let's learn from each other and help each other grow!

10. Trademarks: Do You Need One? with Vicky Smolyar
I’m excited to have Vicky Smolyar on the podcast to talk all things trademarks, copyrights, and more!
Vicky has business in her blood; she started her very first business back in the 5th grade, publishing and selling magazines to her classmates. She is now the founder and head attorney at Smolyar Law. Vicky helps entrepreneurs use the law to their advantage, so they can then thrive and grow the businesses of their dreams.
Vicky is both a business lawyer and business owner, and she believes your legal decisions should be made from a place of power, not fear. When it comes to important legal matters like trademarks, this isn’t something you should be DIYing!
In today’s episode, we’re talking all about:
- When you really need to trademark something (and when you don’t)
- What a trademark actually is
- What a copyright is, and if/when you need to register your copyrights
- Expected costs when working with a trademark attorney like Vicky
- Vicky’s DIY trademark registration course, and why she created it
Vicky is passionate about the work she does as a trademark attorney, and she loves supporting and nurturing her clients along their entrepreneurial journeys. While legal matters are so not an exciting part of business, they are extremely important, and shouldn’t be shoved under the rug.
If you know it’s time to trademark the important assets of your business, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
