The main reasons that entrepreneurs often face legal consequences when marketing their business pertaining to copyright and trademark complications. Some entrepreneurs might assume that when a company is smaller, they do not or can get away with not abiding by copyright and trademark laws. However, that is different. Smaller businesses are held to the same standard; they might be small enough to evade consequences instead of a corporation temporarily. Marketing a product that already has a copyright or trademark without explicit authorization from the holder is illegal, regardless of the size of the businesses involved or the market.
