Do I Need A Trademark Lawyer?
Having a trademark attorney on your product or service branding team is key to success. A trademark lawyer can spot potential pitfalls and help you navigate the complex application and follow-up process with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
While anyone can file a trademark application with the USPTO, there are intricacies to:
determining the strength of your trademark;
reviewing how other people might be using the same or similar trademark; and
appropriately answering the questions on the trademark application.
The job of a trademark attorney is to:
guide you in selecting a strong trademark;
navigate the application process on your behalf;
counsel you regarding your options if your trademark application is refused (office action issued); and
prepare you for what happens after you secure a registration.
