If you' re one of those who haven' t started your podcast yet
and you' re thinking about what name to name it I recommend listening to
today' s chapter so that you have a few tricks when it comes to
naming your podcast in condition and don' t get scared in the future we
welcome you to the other side of the microphone. On the other side of
the microphone, a project by Jorge Marín grandson in which you will find your
daily ration of metapodcasting, casting with news, events, tools or episodes of
opinion in just ten minutes. Ten minutes, ten minutes. Welcome and welcome
to the other side of the microphone, where the meta podcasting is the protagonist.
I am Jorge Marin who is at the head of the production company and
who every day passes to this side of the microphone in small doses of ten
to fifteen minutes to bring you news, events, curiosities, recommendations, tips,
tools and I think I' m starting to repeat myself. It'
s been many days letting go of this climate and believe me it' s
getting harder every day. I want to bring you a little list today.
Nothing, four or five points so that when you register your podcast, when
you name it, you choose a name. Well, if you try not
to be the same as another podcast or if another podcast is registered under the
same idea that you have, let' s say the legal ways to defend
it, to defend you and, above all, to take something that is
easy, easy for you, easy for you to hear I remind you,
remember forgiveness and that ultimately, it becomes something solid, something that every season
you have to change your name, because you have messed it up, because
it wouldn' t be the first podcast that has to change its name for
quismo, dudes, and for that I want to give you a series of
points to see the most legal and the most lasting thing to say would be
to register the name of your podcast, as if it were a brand.
This has a cost of about 150 euros in the State Office of Trademarks and
Patents, but you have to keep in mind that it cannot be a generic
name. See the case on the other side of the microphone. Saves her
I haven' t tried. I haven' t tried, but I think
they would directly tell me that it' s not possible, because on the
other side of the microphone, it' s a phrase made and here,
I might even be playing it and I' m giving clues to someone who
wants to name a podcast like that, but I think it' s a
phrase with a series of very common words that couldn' t be recorded.
I don' t know. Sune, for example, had trouble registering a
podcast nation because the word podcast was very generic. But, well, I
think in the end I can record it very clearly. Once you have your
podcast registered, your trademark. That' s very easy. It' s
very easy to protect you. And today this is registered. You. You
can' t call it that. Or your name, your podcast, you
can' t call it that. If you have this mark in quotation marks,
the podcast registered, this product you have registered. Let' s say
the power to go to any of the podcast platforms, to host podcast platforms
and say that your podcast, the name of your podcast is registered and you
have it in your name. But this would only cover you in Spain.
I explain if you find, for example, a podcast registered in n Evox,
Spotify or Apple Podcast, you can write to these companies, these directories,
your podcast hosts and with your papers say, hey, this podcast is
plagiarizing me. You' re using the name of my trademark, which I
have the rights to, and so you have to change the name. But
of course they have to change the name only in Spain. And this has
very easy solution one of two. Either remove this podcast available in Spain or
simply put it say a last name see. For example, the podcast on
the other side of Perico' s microphone, that of the Palotes, is
registered tomorrow to the trademark office and automatically write to me from Spotify via podcast
and from all sides and tell me, Mr Jorge, we are very sorry.
But this person has registered the name of his podcast and he has to
change it and I say ah ok, on the other side of the microphone
by Jorge Marin, arranged is already different and I could register the name on
the other side of the microphone by Jorge Marin, because it is different.
It is not a trademark as such, because there is only one podcast on
the other side of the microphone by Jorge Marín. Then that would prevent me
from having to conflict with this person. But of course, here we already
enter with good, because a brand I don' t know if personal or
professional, a product that you associate or that we say you fit with Jorge
Marín until now without having to say the name Jorge Marín And until now it
would have to be again to make me say a name, although I think
this would not be necessary because there are already nine hundred and peak episodes and
you automatically associate the name on the other side of the microphone with Jorge Marín
or with e B producer. But for the new listeners, they might have
to get used to listening to the other side of the microphone by Jorge Marin
every time I say so, and so it would have to be in each
and every one of the presentations. Let' s say we rework the brand
or the name of this podcast to add that last name to it and that
' s tattooed on your brain and so on the hosts and podcast distributors themselves
everywhere. I would have to put the microphone on the other side by Jorge
Marin, because on the other side of the microphone it would be a protected
and registered product. This is a solution. Another solution is to change the
name, which, logically, because this hurts us all a lot, because
maybe because we have associated social media accounts, the logo, telegram channels and
all with our name. And now someone comes and takes it from us in
quotation marks that really hasn' t taken anything away from us. Only look
that that person has registered it and has all the law of the world.
So he was the first to register it, claim that name on all sites.
And this wouldn' t be the first time it happened. In fact,
I already spoke to you a few years ago. I would swear on
a famous case of plagiarism, or well, it' s not plagiarism,
but they' ve registered a name and what we' re going to do
with the papers, with the papers ahead, because there we can do nothing.
And even with the papers ahead. If they have registered that podcast only
in the United States, we, in Spain, would be free to register
it. They have to register it in each and every country where they want
to claim that name from companies or people who have the same podcast name.
But of course there are 150 euros in Spain nine hundred dollars in the United
States, another three hundred and high in Australia, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera?
You are really willing to make those payments just to protect your name.
Well, man, if it' s a brand name, if it'
s a company, it' s a very big project, because there I
' d say yes. But in this case this podcast is very humble.
It is still a personal project, although I try to associate it with my
professional facet. But beyond these hundred and fifty euros. Well, man,
if there was a flat rate that for 200 euros I would register it in
all the countries of the world, I would be the first to register it.
But I will not pay 150 euros per country because I am not willing.
I' m so sorry, but what are we gonna do? I
' m very fond of the name on the other side of the microphone.
So much so that it has its own website on the other side of the
microphone, com, but, if that' s the case, I don
' t think I' d get to trial and this here I' m
giving too many clues to all of you. Let me thank this month'
s sponsor, who is nothing less than the Podcast, what we are concerned
about, a space of dialogue and reflection created by Argal, in which,
over ten episodes, they will address issues that resonate between all of us and
those of us who worry us and who also occupy our day- to-
day lives, from mental health to female empowerment, through technology and its impact
on our lives. Pornography, addiction or pornography by minors. Well, this
project seeks to generate conversation and offer perspectives that inspire us and motivate us to
action so that together we can make a society a little better. You can
subscribe by entering through the Paulding that I will leave you in this episode through
your favorite platform. You know the name podcast is what worries us and the
sponsor is argal, to which I am greatly grateful to pass this side of
the microphone throughout the month of April and now I say goodbye, and how
every day I return to that place where you are right now on the other
side of the microphone,
