Venture Structure · Brand architecture

How should a founder structure a parent brand and sub-brands?

Decide the parent brand first, then position every venture beneath it. That means one architecture map, a naming plan that covers domains and handles before you need them, and a filing checklist for the trademarks that protect it. I built FourSix46 this way, and this is the same sequence.

FAQ

About this service.

No. I am not a solicitor or a trademark attorney and I do not give legal advice. The checklists prepare you to file yourself, or to brief a professional without wasting their time.

No. You get a filing checklist covering what to prepare, which classes to consider and what the registry will ask for. Filing is yours, or your attorney's.

Because the name you want is usually taken by the time you need it, and buying it back costs far more than planning ahead. That is the whole argument for doing this early.

Yes. Both markets are covered, because the sequence and the paperwork differ and most founders only find that out late.
