I am looking for a trademark lawyer who could help me with a trademark registration. While I am not looking for a specific contact person I am looking for a site that lists and maybe even rates different trademark lawyer. Can you help me with that? Since I am not from the US but need a US trademark lawyer asking family and friends is not reallz an option. |

Trademarks and copyrights are the easier to tackle intellectual property issues, but you sometimes need an attorney anyway. I found this site, it might help you: http://www.intellectualpropertylawfirms.com/ Another: http://lawyers.findlaw.com/lawyer/practice/Intellectual-Property-Law Or just do a search for "intellectual property attorney" |

Unless it is very complicated, the registration USPTO process is simple, any error and start again. Make sure you do your background search on New User Form Search (Basic) http://tess2.uspto.gov/ click on a live serial number & click on the blue box label TDR at the top of the page. This will give you access to the file case history & all the process history of live registrations and dead ones that were not allow + the reasons why. If you use an attorney make sure you agree a total price, one I used used to file xxxxx gave me an estimate of $500 (which I had stated was the total I would go to) & billed me for $2,300 and tried to tell me $500 was only an estimate !! they were not paid & waited a long time for the agreed sum. |
