Starting a business can be a scary and nerve-racking endeavor. Over the years, I’ve held numerous seminars to help business owners understand the importance of intellectual property and trademark protection. At one of these seminars, I met Wendy and Franco Salerno, co-founders and owners of Darianna® Bridal and Tuxedo.

Many small business owners, like the Salernos, need guidance on where to start and the importance of trademarks and intellectual property. Their journey began in 2013 when their daughter was invited to prom. Since then, we’ve been by their side, helping them navigate the complexities of intellectual property. Our partnership has been instrumental in keeping their business protected and thriving.
Franco highlighted a key challenge for small businesses: “As a small business, you know we’re not a franchise; we are not a big national chain. It takes much work to get the name out there and brand recognition, and we don’t have the budgets of these large companies.”
Understanding and protecting your business is crucial for small businesses. Today, Darianna® Bridal and Tuxedo are a testament to the transformative power of intellectual property protection. They are well-informed and well-positioned regarding their intellectual property, and their business is thriving.
