In practice, this may not matter for many small businesses who are unlikely to need to defend their IP, however if your trademark is truly important, then your hunch is correct. You will want to secure the services of an attorney who specializes in trademarks.</div><div><br></div><div>Although there are many excellent trademark attorneys in the commonwealth, one attorney (and small firm) that I've had consistently excellent experiences with is Brenda Ulrich of Archstone Law Group: <a href="https://www.archstonelaw.com/attorneys/brenda-ulrich/">https://www.archstonelaw.com/attorneys/brenda-ulrich/</a> (I have no vested interest and only know Brenda from her work; met her once.)</div><div><br></div><div>Cost will be higher, of course, however the cost of a mistake means possibly losing all the rights you've invested in.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, talk with an attorney, but you may not even need a registered trademark at all.</div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 12, 2020 at 10:23 AM Joan Long via Hidden-discuss <<a href="mailto:hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net">hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi HT,<br>
What is your experience with trademark lawyers? Specifically using a trademark attorney vs. going on a website that does it for you. Such as LegalZoom or something similar). I would assume a knowledgeable attorney would be the better choice, I’m just wondering for a cost comparison.<br>
It’s something that I’ve created as a logo/future brand.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance!<br>
