LegalZoom Helps Small Businesses Protect Their Brand from Copycats in the Age of AI

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As small businesses face increasing competition in the digital age, LegalZoom (Nasdaq:LZ), a leading online platform for legal services, urges small business owners to safeguard their intellectual property through trademark registration and other protection measures. While the rise of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools can simplify business processes, they have also made it easier for competitors to copy branding elements, products, and services. For small business owners, trademarks provide the legal means to safeguard their brand and product names, slogans, and logos, prevent customer confusion, and grant them exclusivity in the market. LegalZoom is encouraging startups and solopreneurs to file for trademark registration before the United States Patent and Trademark Office increases trademark filing fees on January 18, 2025.
