Yo! Harness ip is such a vibe rn. Honestly, the biggest mistake I made was not registering my trademark early. Someone else almost snagged it, and it was a nightmare to sort out.
If you’re just starting, I’d say focus on trademarks first—they’re easier to handle than patents. USPTO’s website is a good resource, but it’s kinda dense. Maybe try Trademarkia for a simpler process.
Also, don’t sleep on copyrights for creative stuff like music, art, or writing. It’s cheap and gives you solid protection.
