RISK IN USING THE WORD “ENTREPRENEUR” AS YOUR URL

February 23, 2018 By FLEX IP COUNSEL

If you’re considering using the word “entrepreneur” as part of your business name or URL, you might want to weigh the risk of being sued by Entrepreneur Media, Inc (EMI).  This article is dated but it’s a good reminder to avoid using this word as part of your brand if you don’t want to hear from their Trademark lawyer.

This article highlights the main issues. Is EMI entitled to monopolize a single word that’s not distinctive and descriptive of millions of entrepreneurs?
