Higher Purpose Co
Black led nonprofit in Mississippi needs assistance with protecting Intellectual Property
Protect the intellectual property of a nationally recognized Black led nonprofit based in Mississippi
Posted April 29, 2020
Background & Context
Higher Purpose Co (HPC) has been growing very fast over the last few years and we have created several signature programs, logos, tools, and resources to serve Black entrepreneurs in Mississippi. Over the next six months, our impact will increase because we are launching the Covid-19 Black Business Relief Initiative, expanding our business fellowship program, and will continue developing Higher Purpose HQ which will be a 13,000 square foot regional community wealth hub in the Mississippi Delta. HPC needs legal assistance to protect our intellectual property to avoid any issues in the future.
Immediate Problem
Higher Purpose Co (HPC) would like to avoid other entities using our organization name, programs, brand, or logos, etc to elevate their work in Mississippi. Protecting our intellectual property will also ensure our programs cannot be replicated without our permission and further legitimatize the work HPC does with Black entrepreneurs across the state.
Work & Deliverables
Legal advice and the creation plus submission of trademark and copyright paperwork for at least 8 logos or names along with the guidance of what key trade secrets or methods should be protected.
