Term: Trademark Pillar: Intellectual Property 💥 Definition:A trademark is a word, phrase, logo, or symbol that identifies your business and sets it apart from others. For AI founders, your trademark could be your product name, the logo on your SaaS dashboard, or even a catchy tagline you use in marketing. Trademarks protect your brand identity—so no one else can confuse customers by copying your name or look. 👉 Sample Contract Clause (in Terms of Service): “Company name, logo, and all related product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of the Company or its affiliates. You must not use such marks without the prior written permission of the Company.” ❓ Have you filed any trademark registrations for your business yet?

Term: Intellectual Property (IP) Pillar: Intellectual Property 💥 Definition: Intellectual property is anything you create in your business that gives you a competitive edge and can be legally protected. For AI founders, that could be your code, your trained model, your dataset, your brand name, or even your secret sauce workflow in n8n. Think of IP as the invisible assets that make your company valuable—even more than the hardware you run it on. 👉 Intellectual Property Ownership Clause in a Contractor Agreement: “Contractor agrees that all work product, code, models, datasets, documentation, or other materials created in the course of providing services shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Contractor hereby assigns to Company all rights, title, and interest in such work product.” ❓ What part of your business do you think would be the most valuable IP if an investor asked you today?

I know—Skool isn’t LinkedIn, and that’s part of why we love it. But let’s be real: most of us here are building businesses where connections matter. Having your LinkedIn, Instagram, or website right on your profile means another founder (or even a future partner or client 👀) can find you instantly. Think of it like a mini “business card” inside Legal Launchpad. Simple, but powerful. 👉 Have you added your links yet? Which one do you think matters most for founders—LinkedIn, IG, or your website?

Hey everyone I think this is a great group, such a good topic to discuss and be educated on!

I usually select a legal entity such as an LLC (US) for tax reasons and assume the legal protection is inherent no matter what I choose. Is there a nuance I should consider for an AI Agency?
