copy defense TOOLS

Online courses, webinars and 1:1 sparring

I understand that starting your copy defense can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Starting with easy and cost-free steps is a great way to get going, and it can enough to discourage some of the less aggressive copycats from copying you.

I’ve put together a bunch of helpful resources, like checklists, workbooks, videos, and even games to help you out.  And I keep updating them so you can find what helps you best to keep what’s rightfully yours.

I promise: You do not need to be a legal expert or understand complex laws to protect your business!
