概要
I strongly believe that people who come up with something creative (or businesses who pay people to come up with something creative) deserve the right not to have it all stolen from them.
This is why I love helping my clients protect their ideas and cover their assets.
This is why I became an intellectual property lawyer.
In fact, I became a copyright lawyer over 18 years ago when my father, a famous Russian composer, heard his music on the radio advertising an event by Samsung without his permission.
I have since helped hundreds of creators and businesses. I've done work for many composers; designers; book writers, including J.K. Rowling; film directors; singers; artists; individual software developers; movie producers; film companies ranging from small ones to Dreamworks; software companies from one-man startups to Apple, Microsoft and Sun; recording companies; electronics manufacturers, including Sony and Motorola; car companies, including Porsche and Ford; apparel companies, including Columbia Sportswear; perfumery and skincare companies, including Amway, L'Oreal and Mary Kay; and a countless number of other clients, big and small.
In 2007, I moved to Canada, went through 3 more years of law school (yes, I really love what I do, hence the commitment), and in 2011, after receiving my Canadian license to practice law and becoming a registered trademark agent, I founded Mincov Law Corporation, a business law firm with a focus on intellectual property.
In 2013, I came up with an idea of The Trademark Factory, a service that allows me as a trademark lawyer to help businesses register their trademarks at a single comprehensive flat rate with a 100% money-back guarantee.
In 2014, I published The Ultimate Insider's Guide to Intellectual Property, my first book in English that became #1 Amazon bestseller.
In 2015, I sacrificed my lawyer license in order to scale up Trademark Factory® without having my hands tied by archaic rules imposed by the Law Society and Bar Associations. If I cannot be a lawyer to deliver to our clients the services that they are looking for, to hell with the license!
Trademark Factory® is disrupting the industry by being the only firm in the world where licensed attorneys and registered trademark agents will help you register your trademarks with a free trademark search, for a single all-inclusive flat fee, with a 100% money-back guarantee.
