High Tide Legal

A 40% higher registration success rate than the national average doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens by strategy, stewardship, and doing trademark law the right way.

This is what brand protection done right looks like.

™ isn’t decoration. It’s a legal signal.
It tells the market your brand is claimed, intentional, and not up for grabs.

You do not have to wait until registration to start using it either.

This is how serious brands protect what they are building.

🚨 Why Instagram Is Suspending Pages for Trademark Infringement (Even When Services Are Different)

Yes, it’s happening — and no, it’s not always fair.

I’m breaking down a real case where a business owner’s page was suspended despite offering completely different services than the company that filed the trademark claim.

Here’s what most people don’t realize ⬇️
Instagram is a private platform. If a trademark complaint is filed, sometimes Meta will not reinstate your page unless the filer retracts the claim. Period.

⚖️ Key takeaways every business owner needs to know:
• Your trademark application must match the services you actually provide
• Same name ≠ same rights when services are different
• Waiting until there’s a problem is the fastest way to lose leverage

📌 Proactive brand protection > reactive damage control.

If your brand lives online, your legal strategy needs to live there too.

A Black attorney allegedly did what now? 😬 If this is true (and I hope it’s not), it’s a reminder that sometimes the biggest mistakes come from “our own.”

In today’s TENDERNISM NEWS, we’re breaking down a critical trademark lesson: You cannot file a trademark just to “hold it,” beat someone to the punch, or sell it back to them later. That’s not just bad strategy — it’s illegal.

📌 Trademark law requires a bona fide intent to use the mark in commerce. If you don’t have that, your application is VOID.

📌 And just because someone files a trademark doesn’t automatically make them the owner of the brand.

Watch, learn, and please take notes — especially if you’re building a business or advising others.

Why Going Viral Makes Brand Protection Harder?

We discuss how four trademark applications have been filed for the term tenderism, with the original owner filing after a third party. We explain why viral phrases are difficult to trademark, using Cardi B's failed attempt to trademark okurrr as an example. We emphasize that business owners should proactively protect every aspect of their brand, as you never know what part of your business might go viral and become valuable intellectual property.

This is why cheap trademarks aren’t “savings.”

Fake email. No USPTO access. Mark unregistrable.

Real law firms don’t play like that.
