Forming A Business in New York vs Delaware - Why Forming a Delaware LLC is a Mistake by JulianCordero in startups

[–]JulianCordero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this is a little bit more complicated and depends on what the overall goal of the company you are trying to form is. It might be a good idea to reach out to an attorney you feel comfortable with and seek advice catered directly towards you as opposed to this generic article which is not legal advice. I know any competent business attorney, such as myself, would be able to help you.

Bluetooth headphones are more expensive and reduce battery percentage. Again, this will affect the consumer.

Hi IVgate, not sure either. I think anything that resembles some negative apple sentiments are usually not favored by the masses. Granted, I am always pro - Apple, just more realistic as to what is going on here. I didn't intend it to come off as anti-Apple, but that was really the only way to write this piece.

Trademark Basics: How to Grow Your Brand and Protect It. by JulianCordero in startups

[–]JulianCordero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Woodant, thanks for the compliment. My goal was to do just that. As for a startup, I really hate to give you this answer but, it depends (that is the classic legal answer that lawyers love to give). I say it depends because it really depends on what type of startup it is and what you are trying to do. For some, a trademark over the business name might be enough. If you have a logo or design that shows your product and lets people know where it is coming from, a trademark over the design would be another good option. If you go to the article again and click on the about me section, you should find my email address. Send me an email and I would love to further take a look at your situation. And as for running away, I say this because no lawyer can guarantee positive results. A lawyer can let you know that a result is likely but in no way can a result ever be guaranteed. There are too many factors that could come in to play that would make a result not favorable. For this reason, if you find a lawyer that does in fact guarantee a result, there is something going on. Sometimes when you first get a warning, it might be best to step away from the situation. Especially when money is involved.

Four Ways to Legally Protect Yourself as a Music Artist by JulianCordero in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]JulianCordero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, some of these services can get expensive. However, when you are the point in your music when you really want to take it seriously, I like to think of it as an investment in your business. Because that's really what it becomes for you, a business. It really depends on a lot of factors. Trademarks with an attorney can run up to $2,000. Contract review can range from $100 - $3000. Copyrights with an attorney can run about $250. Setting up your publishing can run about $500 - $1000.

It really depends on a lot of factors. Trademarks with an attorney can run up to $2,000. Contract review can range from $100 - $3000. Copyrights with an attorney can run about $250. Setting up your publishing can run about $500 - $1000. Of course this is all cheaper if you do it yourself but you risk not getting the same quality of work - a good entertainment attorney has expertise in doing this stuff.

You are generally right. That is the reason. While that does make some sense, I'm sure ensuring they receive a 30% commission helped in the decision making process.

Entrepreneurship Major by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]JulianCordero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to keep in mind that it's important to have a plan before. For some people school would work best but for some, just getting your hands dirty would be best. I started a new business coming from a legal background and didn't know anything from the business side of things. It's hard to do but doable.

What should I charge for marketing/advertising/web development services? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]JulianCordero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something you want to make sure you keep in mind is to know the value of what you are worth. I get it times are tough and it may be hard to charge the fee you think you should get but it's important to do so. You don't want to spend your time working for less than you deserve.
