Build Different

legal protection for growing and established brands

Many entrepreneurs think

...

having an LLC is enough. In reality, the only way to protect your brand on a national scale is to secure a federally registered trademark. Only then can you prevent someone else from copying your brand, sending you a cease and desist letter, or suing you for infringing on their trademark rights…

We make trademark protection easy

Avoid the legal headaches with an attorney you can trust

 

Sure, you could try to register a trademark yourself. But even if you’re able to file the right one under the appropriate class, you may run into snags if your application is denied. That’s why working with a trademark attorney like Erica Scott Tolbert is wise. We handle everything from securing to defending your trademark, so you can have complete peace of mind that your business is covered.

Meet your Business + Trademark Attorney

Erica Scott Tolbert

I’m a family-first, business-second kind of woman. But don’t let that fool you: I’m still a business woman.
 
As the daughter of an entrepreneur, I always knew I wanted to build a powerful business of my own. It wasn’t until law school that I realized the importance of trademarks. Without them, the brand you’ve worked so hard to create could come crumbling down in an instant. I can't let that happen — to my family's businesses or anyone else’s!
 
Today, I help other female founders legally protect and defend their brands as the founder and managing attorney of SCOTT TOLBERT, a boutique business and intellectual property law firm. Beyond being an award-winning attorney, I am a wife, mom, and family gal at heart. 
 
I believe business and family go hand in hand, and I’m here to help you protect the legacy of both.
