Welcome! We are multi-faceted. We began as a research podcast by Dr. Townsend Gard at Tulane University Law School.
We've grown into a community about quilting, crafting, entrepreneurship and intellectual property.

Just Wanna Trademark: Legal DIY
We think this is the most important book we've written so far. Every business--big or small should be applying for a federal trademark for their company name and/or important products. The process can be done on your own. We walk you through it in this book. And if you need a lawyer, we can strategize with you on how to find one. Why is it important? Hashtags. Now that hashtags are so important as source identifiers, you want to be able to claim territory on that, and if necessary have competitors or others refrain from using your trademark as a source identifier. The only powerful way to do that is to register your Mark. How much does the process cost? $225 to register your mark with the U.S. Government, and right now, we've priced the Just Wanna Trademark book at $50. You learn a skill that you can use over and over, both for yourself and your friends.
