Shraybman Law

Your trademark doesn’t travel with you. It stays exactly where you filed it. ✈️

The USPTO protects your brand in the United States. In Australia, Brazil, France... those are all separate stories. And in some of those markets, someone local may have already filed your name. Legally. Before you even thought about expanding.

Katy Perry’s team found that out in court. A small fashion designer in Australia named Katie Taylor had been selling clothes under that name since 2007. In March, after 15yrs of litigation, Australia’s High Court ruled in the designer’s favor. Global fame meant nothing. The local registration meant everything.

Your US trademark is the starting point... not the finish line.

It was a pleasure collaborating with the .fashionshow for this year’s Fashion × Art Panel and speaking to emerging creatives about the business and legal side of this ever‑evolving industry.

Also, loved sharing the stage with .eth and , and kudos to for leading such a thoughtful conversation about the realities of starting and building a brand, particularly as new technologies enter the market.

IP. Business structures. Ownership. Protecting the work you’re putting on the line is exactly why I do what I do.

They said women belong in the kitchen ... so I cooked. 🍳

Contracts negotiated. Brands protected. Dinner served.
