Hello SEOs and marketers. My name is Jordan Cooney from Free Visible. And joining me today is Andre Minkov, who is the founder and CEO at Trademark Factory. Trademark Factory specializes in trademark registration services, and they provide comprehensive solutions for businesses looking to protect their intellectual property. Today, Andre and I are going to discuss innovations to watch in trademarking. Okay, here's my conversation with Andre Minkov, the CEO at Trademark Factory. Andre, welcome to the Voices of Search podcast. Thanks for having me. Really excited to be with you here today. Awesome. I'm pumped. Uh we don't usually get to have someone who specializes in trademark uh litigation services. Not the most sexiest of topics.
I get it. I think it is. I think this is gonna be really interesting because I think a lot of our listeners, whether they're business owners, agency owners, um content uh writers, they should be thinking about this. This is an important topic and and a critical one to the value of what they create. Right. We're w and this is interesting right now in the AI world, right? Where we've got how is creativity valued today. But anyway, we're we're gonna get into that. How about you share with our listeners a little bit about yourself, share with them what trademark factory is all about and then and then we can kind of go into more details there.
Sure. Well, once again, my name is Andre Minkov. Um the founder of Trademark Factory. What we do, what sp we specialize in is Trademark registration services with a guaranteed result for a guaranteed budget. And uh the beauty of that is that trademarking is a long and tedious process that most people underestimate how complex it is. Because a lot of people, especially in the tech space, they're like, well, you get a domain name, you just fill out a short form, you pay a little bit of money, you get a domain name three minutes later. trademarks it's almost the same thing, except you fill out the form and then you hear from the government about nine months Into the process when they tell you about all the things you did wrong.
And so the whole process with trademark registration takes about a year and a half in the US, about four years in Canada. And uh most entrepreneurs they think about trademarking way past when they're supposed to do that. And again, they think that it's gonna happen much simpler than it actually is. So our job is to make Make sure that we educate people, which is why I'm on this podcast with you here today. Uh, and also for those business owners who actually see the value of their brand, is to make sure that we get them the result that they're looking for as efficiently and painlessly as humanly possible.
Yeah.
That's really the trademark factory in a nutshell. We've been doing this for over a decade. We've done over 4,000 trademarks registered for our clients with a 99.3% rate of success, which is really unheard of in this industry, with the industry average being 51.2%. So almost double. But if you look if you look at it from the perspective of Hamini. Many of them fail, right? Our failure rate is point si what is it? Point seven. Seven percent, yeah. Right. Compared to almost half of them not getting to the finish line when you file through someone else. So I'm pretty proud of that.
And for our listeners, I think I think it's important to understand because I think, you know, especially for a lot of our listeners, they're gonna think trademark and they're gonna think like by default, like big companies.
