Description

Your podcast title is more than just a name—it’s your brand.

And if you’re not protecting it, you could be setting yourself up for disaster.

In this episode of Legit Podcast Pro, I’m breaking down exactly how to trademark your podcast title so you can avoid the expensive, frustrating mess that comes from someone else beating you to the punch.

We’ll cover:

  • What trademark protection really means (and doesn’t)
  • Why “first use” gives you rights—but “first to file” can still block you
  • What makes a podcast title eligible for trademark registration
  • When to register and what the process looks like
  • What to do if someone else files a trademark that’s too close to yours
  • Common trademark mistakes creators make—and how to avoid them

If you’re building a brand around your podcast, this is a must-listen episode.
