If you’re like most creative freelancers, you probably know something about trademarks already. For example, the “TM” shortcut is Option 2 on a Mac.
But there’s really more to it. That little “TM” mark can help protect brand names, logos, slogans, and even product designs. It establishes your claim and serves as public notice of your intellectual property.
So what else do you need to know? Let’s have lunch and find out!
Join us for an information-packed Lunch & Learn session outside the perimeter, at Serendipity Labs in
Alpharetta. This is NOT a restaurant—it’s BYOL.
Pick up your favorite sandwich, salad, burger or whatever else you’re in the mood for and meet us at 100 North Point Center East. That’s just off North Point Parkway, near Mansell Road.
We’ll be dining al fresco, in Serendipity Lab’s outdoor patio area. Indoor space is available in case of bad weather.

At the Freelance Forum, it's all Business Casual – until we get down to business.
No atmospheric pressure here! We network and socialize over sandwiches, spreads or pizza, catch up with new and old friends and introduce ourselves to first-time or frequent guests. Then we settle in for the night’s program and its follow-up Q&A.
Our programs always focus on running a creative business more successfully, with topics that address issues like fees, taxes, law, marketing, selling, interpersonal skills, business organization, technology and more. All to help you work smarter, faster, more efficiently and more profitably. So whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at this for a while, you get no-fluff information tailored to your needs.
