Roger Notario Music Trademark Interview: A Lesson To Artists

In our discussion today we sit down with our good friend and Attorney, Roger Notario over at Apollo’s Counsel to discuss the topic of trademarks and their impact on the music industry. 

As an artist, protecting yourself and your music has to be a priority.

These all fall under trademark law which is often a topic overshadowed or confused with copyright law. 

This also builds off our previous discussion with Roger where we broke down the basics of music copyright Here

“Apollo’s Counsel is a law firm focusing on entertainment and intellectual property law. The goal here is to provide creative, client-centered approaches to traditional and emerging legal issues. 

Whether you need a contract reviewed, a trademark registered, or a sample cleared, the goal is to do what is best for you now and in the long run.”
