Welcome to this special episode of the MILMO Show! Today’s my birthday, and I’m celebrating by doing something I love—talking business, family, and protecting what you’ve worked hard to build. And I get to do it with my cousin, Mark Flanigan. Mark is an intellectual property lawyer with experience spanning startups to Fortune 500 companies. His work has spanned patents for medical devices, trademarks for global brands, and volunteer advocacy on behalf of veterans. He’s also an Army brat who now calls Switzerland home. In this episode, we dig into the world of trademarks—what they are, why military service members, veterans, and spouses should care, and how to avoid costly mistakes when naming or branding your business. Plus, we swap a few family stories, because it’s my birthday, and you know I’m going to have some fun. So if you’ve ever wondered whether your business name is truly protected, or what you can and can’t use when it comes to military terms and logos, you’re in for both practical wisdom and a good laugh in this episode. https://milmo.co/podcast/trademarks-for-small-business For more MILMO, follow at: MILMO.co ItsMILMO on YouTube @itsmilmo on X @itsmilmo Instagram @itsmilmo LinkedIn @itsmilmo Facebook
