Entertainment Lawyer Releases Free Trademark Guide to Protect Musicians from Costly Disputes

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - EntSun -- The Law Office of Adam C. Freedman, PLLC, today released the Ultimate Trademark Guide for Artists, a comprehensive free resource designed to help independent artists, producers, and music industry professionals protect their brands and avoid devastating intellectual property mistakes.

Industry data shows that over 70% of independent musicians operate without any trademark protection, despite building valuable brand equity through social media followings, streaming presence, and merchandise sales. Many artists discover conflicts only when facing cease-and-desist letters or attempting to expand their brands commercially – often after investing thousands in marketing and development.

"Every week I talk to artists who've built their entire brand around a name they can't legally protect," said Adam C. Freedman, founder of the practice and former music industry professional. "They've spent thousands on marketing and merchandise, only to discover someone else owns the trademark. This guide exists to prevent those devastating mistakes before they happen."

The Ultimate Trademark Guide for Artists covers essential knowledge that most artists lack when launching their careers, including understanding trademark fundamentals, critical timing windows for registration, the five most common trademark errors in the music industry, which trademark classes matter for artists, and step-by-step USPTO application guidance. The guide also includes real-world case studies from actual music industry trademark disputes.

"I come from both sides of this world – I'm an attorney, but I'm also a former musician, artist manager, and concert promoter," Freedman explained. "I've seen talented artists lose their names, their merch revenue, and their brand identity because they didn't know what they didn't know."

"The best time to protect your brand was yesterday. The second-best time is right now," Freedman said. "By the time you're getting calls from major labels or facing a cease-and-desist letter, it's often too late to fix foundational issues with your rights."
