I did it myself and it was the first time and everything is going great . My trademark is going threw publication now with the Gazette and the process has been going pretty quick. And customer service is very helpful you just have to be serious about what you are creating and going for and stay on it. I check my e-mails and call the Uspto once a week too keep updated. It's not that hard to do. Just take your time and read read and be mindful what you put down and subment. Good luck everyone.
You can do the trademark application on your own. It's a little tedious but being careful by fine tuning your work it can be done. Don't be scared. Don't let the application intimidate you.
@@kelseymicheals887 I did it myself in the comfort of my own home. When you decide to apply for your trademark make sure it's threw Uspto trademark only. It's so many scams out here claiming to be able to help you with your trademark process. In hopes to collects hundreds a dollars from you. Only the Uspto can trade mark you remember that. Good luck an the best success always.
Not sure if you did a updated video on this topic. But now legal zoom have a independent team of lawyers the a person will hire to help with trademark. They also still have DIY.
i totally agree with this person she is saying the truth, seen that happening with many people, my friends been laughing at me because i paid lot more than they did but in the end they admit that i made a smarter decision hiring a lawyer for those of you who starting e-commerce i recommend you , hire lawyer , don't do it yourself
I. So glad I clicked on you first. I was straight about to go to Legal zoom. I need to trademark my brand but I have no 💡 how. It's slowing my progress. Help. Should I look local? Id rather support BB instead. !!!!!!
"Well informed" is the key phrase. I used Legalzoom's bottom package for my corp and registered 2 trademarks myself. It was simple for me because my company's name was a creation of my own. But would I recommend going my route? Not at all.
I respect ur hustle sis.! U stated a lot of facts . But would if I spend my money on an trademark attorney & my application gets denied ?? There’s nothing anyone can do . That’s a huge loss .
Good point! I'd want a cap on a price and a guarantee that in tue end, I'll get some kind of trademark. I guess the system is this way for a reason but I see it as a Fleece! A poor man can'-t afford to even get the legalities started - damn! I need to find $11,780, some type of business startup grant money, give a brotha a break😂
You forgot to mention that Legal Zoom does NOT handle Office Actions. So if USPTO starts a Office Action for the registration, the person using Legal Zoom will be royally screwed. Also, Legal Zoom does NOT do any kind of renewal processes when year 5-and-6 comes around to renew the Trademark. Which is a special form to continue the Trademark under its current status, but is a continuance thereof to proceed to the 10th, 11th,12th, 13th year until it hit the 15th year where you have to renew again. Legal Zoon does NOT handle that, and the trademark will then be "Abandoned" by the USPTO, which means youll lose your Trademark, And it will be up for anyone to grab after its Abandoned Grace Period.. Which is 6 months total after its been Abandoned by the USPTO..
I definitely want to dig on this because I’m starting my first business how much would a trademark lawyer cost and legalzoom so far has been ok my paperwork had been delayed they offered me a payment plan to switch my business structure from sole proprietorship to LLC I would like to copyright logo because I’m in a product selling business just not to sure who to trust
Good video, I’m in process now looking for a good attorney for my trademark and etc for my clothing line. You sound like the person I need to be talking to.👌
I got a LLC through Legal Zoom. They wanted to sell me a DBA for $99. Is what they do different than what the county clerk does for $21. I asked Legal Zoom and they didn't give me a good answer.
+IamSiCKO Hi, we have a brand new legal kit to walk you through the trademark process that's coming out soon. Opt in here to get more details on protecting your brand and to find out when it's available: www.smallbusinessbodyguard.com/brand-boss
We see this with a lot of our clients also. It's easy to do bookkeeping and taxes on your own. The problem is that most people don't know what they don't know.
I tried to Copyright my work with the U.S Copyright office and couldn't do it because it's closed during COVID-19 which doesn't make any sense. Important businesses like that needs to be open. Schools needs to be open because parents can't go to work if schools not open but they are open, hospitals, banks, grocery stores are all open and the Copyright office should be open to it's important but there not open so I will have to Copyright my work with legal zoom.
I live in brooklyn, I see that you are from NYC also. What is the difference between brand names? If I chose to hole off on trademarking my business name can I still register a brand name under my company? Please let me know.
Cats O Brand name versus trademarks... You can register your business as a D.B.A ( Doing business as) that will establish a bank account, etc. You own the name in commerce only in the U.S. With that move. You still have to pay for a web domain with your business name, so nobody else snatches that from you... Trade mark puts you in the position where as of selling goods, food, clothing, etc. You'll have a case if anybody tries to mimic you or steal's from you. That is a true way to protect your business name if you have product your going to sell with your company's name attach to the product. If not just do your DBA first than get to the trade mark. Put your paperwork in order before you go hard in the paint. Protect yourself.
Hi, I'm in the process of making my own shirt. I have it designed but I don't have a logo at this time. what are your recommendations as my next step? some of my friends say copy right others say trademark.
thank you shooter Balboa for that I needed to know that. did it cost you a lot like $600- 1,000 dollars to when finish with all that legal zoom help you with?
hello loved your video I need a trademark for a phrase and name im trying to sell example R.O.W. (right or wrong) is that something easy to do on my own or do I still need a lawyer (broke right now) thanks for your input keep up the good work
Very Informative but bias. Especially since she maybe a trademark lawyer or something like that. I advise people to do their own research. I personally used LegalZoom and have had ultimate success on all levels from starting a corporation to personal trusts etc.. again informational video just bias.
shooter balboa is legal zoom better to invest in because I m starting an small an business and my sister told me to get an trade mark so no one can get my stuff or better yet an lawsuit against you. so please respond thank you
To be honest I used Legal Zoom to start an LLC. Is was a good experience they kept me updated throughout the entire process and make sure I knew what I needed to do as far as state requirements. From doing that I started using their legal team for other things like trusts and trademarks. Now it can get expensive but it was always cheaper then finding a lawyer elsewhere. I initially tried Legal Zoom because I didn't have the money to do it any other way. So this is just my experience. It might be better ways or people out there but this was an awesome choice for me
IM GETTING MY TRADEMARK THROUGH LEGAL ZOOM AS WE SPEAK. I KNOW THIS WAS A FEW YEARS AGO POSTED BUT SO FAR I HAVE NO PROBLEMS AND MY BRAND JUST GOT SUBMITED INTO THE USPTO AND I DIDNT DO THE "DO IT YOURSELF" METHOD, I GOT A LEGAL ZOOM ATTORNEY TO HELP ME. AND I ALSO PUT IT UNDER MY LLC. SO IF YOU DO IT THROUGH LEGAL ZOOM BUT STILL DO IT YOURSELF I DONT SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOING IT YOURSELF WITH THE USPTO AND DOING IT YOURSELF THROUGH LEGAL ZOOM. EITHER WAY I SUGGEST GETTING A LAWYER. A LAYWER IS A LAWYER I THINK.
The reason why most people dont register on their own, is because that persons home address will be publicly available. Most people have "Home businesses" which means your private home address will be made available to ANYONE. So most people use Attorney services, because then the address for correspondence as well as public address will be of that of the attorney office on the USPTO site, under your registration trademark..
I did it myself and it was the first time and everything is going great . My trademark is going threw publication now with the Gazette and the process has been going pretty quick. And customer service is very helpful you just have to be serious about what you are creating and going for and stay on it. I check my e-mails and call the Uspto once a week too keep updated.

Goodmorning, have you ever filed an intent to use trademark?
You can do the trademark application on your own. It's a little tedious but being careful by fine tuning your work it can be done. Don't be scared. Don't let the application intimidate you.
Yes I did it and everything is going well. Speedy process.

Before using any legal self-help service. Do your own research on that subject write down all the questions you may want to the answer.
If my logo has the business name in it, do I still need to trademark the name?
You forgot to mention that Legal Zoom does NOT handle Office Actions.
So if USPTO starts a Office Action for the registration, the person using Legal Zoom will be royally screwed.
Also, Legal Zoom does NOT do any kind of renewal processes when year 5-and-6 comes around to renew the Trademark.
