Forgot to mention this in the past “UPDATE” post…
MAKE THEM REPECT THE NAME! 💪 💯
Ask yourselves: If value is created by consent… why are MY MOST IMPORTANT forms of consent my name, my signature, and my identifying marks (thumbprints/biometrics) going completely unprotected?
GUYS WHEN YOU FULL GRASP THIS YOU WILL WANT TO KISS ME 😂 (I charge tho) I’ve been deep in the trenches building the trademark systems for Title 8 students.
Why I’m Sharing This Now
A lot of what I’m working on doesn’t show up immediately on the surface.
Behind the scenes, I’m building complete systems in a box so when they drop, they’re usable, repeatable, and clean. No duct tape. No guesswork.
At the same time, I don’t want you waiting until the “perfect final version” to learn..
So I’m letting you watch the process in real time.
Attached to this post is the actual trademark packet currently being reviewed on one of my trademarks. Not a mockup. Not a summary. The real thing.
You get to see:
- How office actions actually come in
- What examiners really object to
- How you respond without blowing your application
- What wins — and what absolutely does not
This is me dealing with it live and handling it properly.
The Bigger Picture (Why Trademarking Matters)
A lot of people talk about identity and control in abstract terms.
Courts don’t.
They operate in the language of commerce, contracts, and recognized property rights.
Future obligations — whether it’s mortgage payments, business performance, or labor — are routinely monetized because they are backed by consent and identifiable parties.
That consent is almost always expressed through:
- A name
- A signature
- A mark that identifies source or origin (thumbprint)
If you have ever had a bail bond you know what I’m talking about. Any contract requires those of which we refer to a “surety”
Surety Definition:
A surety is a person or entity that assumes direct liability for another’s obligation. Financial creditors may require the debtor to find a surety, who then signs the loan agreement along with the debtor. A financial surety’s liability arises as soon as the agreement is closed. Sureties are commonly used in legal, financial, and contractual contexts, such as in surety bonds, to ensure compliance with agreements and obligations. Although similar to a guarantor, a financial surety's liability arises as soon as the agreement is closed. When those elements are left unmanaged, others define the terms.
Trademarking is one of the few areas where an individual can lawfully and cleanly define ownership, usage, and licensing in a way courts already understand.
That’s the domain we’re operating in not theory, not in sovereign citizen arguments, not slogans.
What’s Coming Next
I’ll be recording a full walkthrough video breaking down this packet line by line:
- What triggered the review
- What the USPTO actually wants to see
- How to respond without setting yourself back months
- How to structure this so it becomes an asset, not a headache
From there, this turns into:
- A Trademarking course module
- Step-by-step resources
- Templates
- A clean “easy button” system for members
I’ve also brought in excellent trademark attorneys to help students who may be lacking in time or need extra assistance in properly submitting trademark applications.
Im bringing real support, not internet advice 💪 🔥
Why I’m Letting You See the Middle
Most people only show you the win.
I’d rather show you:
- The friction
- The corrections
- The strategy
- And how to handle pressure without panicking
If you’re paying attention now, you’ll be miles ahead when your turn comes.
Final Thought
This platform isn’t being built to make noise.
It’s being built to hold weight.
Systems first.
Clarity second.
Scale third.
You can find my trademarks here:
Just search: JOSEPH FAIN MCDANIEL
You can see the letters they sent for this review.
Study the packet.
Watch how this is handled.
More coming soon!
Don’t have to be a genius for this stuff.
Side note: I’m also helping Don Kilam (Jeffery McBride) who is huge in the status correction estate planning space. He has a double PHD in Law, a lifetime presidential achievement award, and is a CPA! He’s the GOAT! However, his trademarks were labeled “Abandoned” so little old me is fixing it for him 🤠 lol sometimes you just see things others don’t!
Never shoot yourselves short!
Mahalo for your kokua 🤙
