We’re back with Alyssa from Legal Doer, and in this episode, we’re deep diving into all things permanent jewelry and the law, especially when it comes to minors, trademarks, and copyright concerns in your business. Alyssa breaks down the legal grey areas surrounding welding on minors, including the lack of federal regulations. While there is no federal ban on performing permanent jewelry on minors when a legal guardian is present, it’s crucial to understand how laws around children’s products (especially for those 12 and under) may apply. Alyssa explains how additional testing requirements, often already handled by your wholesale manufacturers, might be necessary depending on the materials used, such as charms, stainless steel, or coatings. Alyssa also shares why waivers are so important! (You can snag Legal Doers waiver created just for permanent jewelers!)Beyond minors, we chat about trademarking, what it is, how it protects your brand, and why checking for similar or already-taken names early can save you major money and headaches down the road. We even touch on the difference between inspiration and imitation when it comes to copywriting and content creation.Alyssa reminds us that it’s not a matter of if legal issues will come up, it’s when. So it’s essential to know your risks, go with your gut, and make informed decisions that align with your values and how you want to run your business.Legal doer website: https://www.legaldoer.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legaldoerPermanent Jewelry waiver: https://www.legaldoer.com/store/p/permanent-jewelry-waiver-media-release-templates?aff=176
