The Brand Protection Blueprint - Matthew Fornaro and Lily Patrascu

Multimillionaire Business Law Attorney Shares About The Brand Protection Blueprint - Matthew Fornaro and Lily Patrascu Matthew Fornaro is a leading business law advisor known for helping entrepreneurs protect and defend their brands before legal problems arise. With over 20 years of legal experience since 2003, he serves South Florida as a business attorney specializing in trademarks, copyrights, and strong legal frameworks that safeguard a company's identity. He explains that many entrepreneurs risk losing their name, logo, or online presence when they fail to secure intellectual property early, allowing others with more resources to take over their brand. He highlights that even newcomers can sometimes register a long-established brand if the original owner never enforced their rights—often resulting in costly rebranding and lost goodwill. Matthew also clarifies that domain disputes fall under ICANN rules, enabling trademark holders to request the transfer of a website from the original registrant. His guidance emphasizes documenting brand creation, showing consistent use in commerce, and planning early for IP protection—even when funds are limited—to ensure entrepreneurs never lose the very identity of their business. About The Guest Matthew Fornaro has been a business law attorney serving South Florida, including Coral Springs and Parkland, since 2003. Before starting his law firm, he was an attorney at two prestigious AmLaw 200 law firms focusing on civil litigation. Matthew practices complex commercial litigation, including contract disputes. Matthew, a member of the Florida Bar and District of Columbia Bar, also practices construction law, intellectual property law, homeowner and condominium association representation, and drafts and revises of business documents, including the formation of business organizations. Matthew assists new business owners in choosing and drafting all legally required documents.
