Choosing a podcast name is hard enough without having to worry about whether it is already taken or legally protected. In this episode I am sitting down with my business attorney Kailey Jacomet of Brand Law Boutique to talk about the legal side of naming your podcast, what trademark infringement actually looks like in the podcasting world, and what you should do before you commit to any name.

If you are in the process of naming your podcast or you have been podcasting for a while and have never thought about protecting your show name, this episode is a must listen.

In this episode you will learn:

1. Why having a podcast name that is similar but not identical to another show can still be a legal problem
2. What a trademark actually protects and why your podcast name qualifies
3. How to do your own due diligence before committing to a podcast name
4. Why the government trademark database is not enough on its own and what to search instead
5. What the difference is between registering your podcast name versus your business name
6. What to do if you receive a cease and desist letter about your podcast name
