Today I go over the top infringed items on Etsy and categories that are trademarked and copyrighted to not post. This is an educational video for new business owners on Etsy on how to prevent TM infringement and how to navigate the world of copyright. Many beginner shops on Etsy tend to not know how to search up TM's on USPTO and how to utilize USPTO.gov to be careful of accidentally falling into the infringement zone. Here is resources mentioned in the video:

USPTO.gov free TESS website: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.e...

Everbee also just came out with a TM searching tool since filming that connects to your Etsy shop and can acitvely check & recheck any new TM's: https://www.everbee.io/?via=heather

MerchInformer tool( I recommend Everbee over MerchInformer if you're on Etsy): https://merchinformer.com/

DISCLAIMER: I am not a legal professional and this video is based on my own experiences in selling on Etsy with my print on demand business.
