Why Trademarks Matter for Online Sellers
Apr 14, 2026

In online commerce, your brand is often your most valuable asset.

A trademark is what protects that asset — helping you control how your business is represented, prevent misuse by others, and support long-term growth.

For businesses seeking protection in the United States, understanding the difference between use-based filings, intent-to-use applications, specimens, and Statements of Use is essential.

Supreme Court Limits Executive Power on Tariffs — What Businesses Should Know
Mar 3, 2026

The Supreme Court’s decision in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump reinforces that the President’s trade and tariff authority must be grounded in clear congressional authorization, not broad language in a statute originally designed for sanctions and emergency economic controls.
