You’re a creator, inventor or business owner…
...or you know you’ve got the makings of a great, profitable product, brand or idea.
It may be for a product, gadget, toy, or maybe even an app…
...or a story or set of characters to use in a book series, animated series, or product line.
You know you’re onto something that you can sell and make money from…
…and it’s exciting to think about all the possibilities that lay before you.
But it’s also a little overwhelming.
Because while you know you’ve got a great idea or maybe you’ve already created a product or started your business…
...you also know there’s SO MUCH you don’t know.
Especially about the business and legal considerations of inventing and creating— and how to keep your idea protected.
And it stirs up the following worries, like:
Could my idea be stolen?
How do I even start to protect it?
Could I be sued by someone who might have a similar idea?
Do I even own my intellectual property??
What do I need to know about contracts?
How can I make money from my idea?

Your expertise is in the idea and the creating, NOT in the legalities...
...and so without the knowledge, the framework to put the right protections in place or knowing what to look out for to make sure your idea is covered…
….you keep working away, trying to create or market your product, while feeling fearful and confused if you’ll really be able to figure out how to bring your idea to life and start to bring in profit.
Hear this...you’re not alone.
It’s incredibly common to be confused or overwhelmed by the legal side of protecting — and truly owning — your ideas, products, or content.
Hear this...you’re not alone.
It’s incredibly common to be confused or overwhelmed by the legal side of protecting — and truly owning — your ideas, products, or content.
There are so many misconceptions about what it really takes to protect your ideas — otherwise known as intellectual property (or IP)…
...and there’s also a lot of assumption that just having a trademark, copyright or patent means you’re completely good to go.
But the truth is there’s A LOT TO LEARN about protecting and owning your intellectual property…
...and there are very important steps you should take to safeguard your ideas, your brand, and your business in the best possible way.
When you take these important steps, you’re able to move forward with CONFIDENCE and bring your idea to life knowing that it’s better protected.
And you’re also able to make better decisions for your products and ideas that will help you expand your brand to better meet your business goals.
But when you DON’T PROACTIVELY take these steps, you leave yourself wide open…
...to potentially lose your idea, product, or content, be sued by the creator of a similar product, or have your idea stolen without there being much (if anything) that you can do.
All of these possibilities can come with a VERY costly price tag, an expense that can easily bankrupt a business, especially if they’re in the early stages of starting up.
That’s because it IS, in fact, confusing!

Learn how trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets can protect your idea AND set you up for success.
Learn about some basic types of contracts and know what to look out for with your contracts so you keep what you’ve worked so hard for.
Understand the 3 main ways to make money from your intellectual property and ideas.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Pottick
My family was in the toy business and had a company with an office of 15 people and revenues of $20 million. For 14 years after I graduated from college, I worked at this company.
I learned almost everything there was to know about the business, including coming up with products, performing R&D, branding, licensing, manufacturing, sales and marketing and so much more.
Early in my career, I learned the hard way that not protecting IP upfront could cost us a product line. That’s exactly what happened one year when we created and brought hand samples to a trade show without proactively protecting the IP.
And I’ve come to know this: Learning just one thing can prevent someone from losing everything, because small businesses especially can’t afford to get into legal trouble. PROACTIVE PROTECTION is the key.

Early in my career, I learned the hard way that not protecting IP upfront could cost us a product line. That’s exactly what happened one year when we created and brought hand samples to a trade show without proactively protecting the IP.
Our samples were stolen one evening after we left our (locked up) showroom. A year later, guess what we saw? That’s right…similar products on the shelves of a retailer. The fact that we didn’t have any trademark, copyright or patent protection meant it would have been almost impossible to enforce our rights.
All of that time, effort and expense was for nothing. This was just one of several frustrating experiences we had with the legal side of our toy business — experiences that might have been avoided if we had the information we needed about how to protect our products and our brands upfront.
Eventually, I left the toy business and went to law school, where I focused on intellectual property and business. I was inspired to become a lawyer who would help clients (like I was) understand and navigate the law to avoid legal landmines and make better, more informed decisions.

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
“Being under the tutelage of Stephanie Pottick, Esq. over the past several years has been truly eye opening. In her personable way, she explained things perfectly to a "layman" like me so I could easily grasp and comprehend the complicated workings of the legal system and how it could best serve my IP. Without her guidance and expertise, I most likely would never have delved into the process with another attorney, let alone by myself. Thanks to her, I have obtained a pretty fair grasp on how it all works and as a result, I sleep better at night.”
“Not only is Stephanie an expert in intellectual property and contract law, she’s a creative thinker with many talents. Her experience in the world of business has contributed extensive insight to my ventures. Working with her has provided great clarity with regard to contract negotiations, and a wealth of understanding with the complicated nature of trademark law. Beyond all of this, Stephanie truly cares about her clients and her support has been invaluable.”

“I have been a client of Stephanie Pottick's for several years. Stephanie has helped me to secure five (5) trademarks to protect my intellectual property. She was my legal counsel during my contract negotiations with my publisher for my third book. Thanks to her counsel, I included a clause in the contract that saved me several thousand dollars. More importantly, it enabled me to retain ownership of the book rights when the publisher was sold to a third party. Stephanie handles all my required business filings with excellent efficiency, and she is a proactive partner in supporting my business.”
