Indie Law Celebrates 1,220 Trademarks Filed—A Milestone in Brand Protection

At Indie Law, we believe that every business deserves strong legal protection, and we’re proud to help make that happen. Today, we’re celebrating an exciting milestone—our team, led by CEO & Founding Trademark Attorney Joey Vitale, has now filed 1,220+ trademarks and counting! 🎉

Why Trademark Protection is Essential

In today’s fast-paced business world, securing a federal trademark isn’t just a legal step—it’s a business necessity. Without the right protections in place, entrepreneurs risk brand confusion, copycats, legal disputes, and even costly rebranding. A registered trademark gives business owners exclusive rights to their brand name, logo, and identity—ensuring long-term security and growth. At Indie Law®, we specialize in making the trademark registration process simple and stress-free. Our goal is to help business owners, creatives, and entrepreneurs secure their brand identity so they can grow with confidence. Whether you’re launching a startup, rebranding, or scaling your business, trademark protection is a key step in your success.

1,220+ Trademarks and Counting—A Huge Thank You!

This milestone isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about the incredible entrepreneurs, small businesses, and brands that trust Indie Law® to safeguard their futures. Every trademark we file represents a business that is now legally protected, giving owners the freedom to focus on growth without fear of infringement. To all of our clients, supporters, and friends—thank you for being part of this journey! We’re excited to continue helping businesses trademark their success and build strong, protected brands.
