My formal trademark certificate arrived on Friday.
I wanted to put a label on the clothing I created for Samuel and other friends and GoochieGoo just seemed perfect to me. I wanted to put it on the clothing as a label but was worried that someone would see the name, like the name and use it formally stopping me using it. So after much debating, I decided to trademark the name. I’m looking forward to a whole range of new creations with the cute prominent label.
It might seem crazy to go through the process and money when not actually running a business, but I think it is worth it to provide the last finishing touch to an outfit that I spend a lot of time designing and creating. For those who are looking to create a trademark for the first time I highly recommend the Headstart program, they were great at answering my questions and really efficient.
And because i’m a geek, I started to set up a website for goochiegoo last night.
Love the name, congratulations.
