Eight pillars of intellectual property, written for founders and creators — not lawyers. Each guide walks through what it is, what it costs, how long it takes, and the exact steps to file it yourself (or with confidence, when you do hire someone).
Protect your name, logo, and slogan.
Protect inventions, processes, and unique product designs.
Protect original creative work the moment it's fixed.
Protect information that gives you a competitive edge — without publishing it.
Set up the legal entity that will own your IP.
Turn your IP into revenue without giving it away.
Stop infringers without lawyering up (usually).
One filing, 130+ countries — protect your brand globally.
Most founders need at least three: a business entity (LLC), a trademark on the brand name, and a copyright registration for content or code. Patents come later — usually only if you have a novel physical product.
