Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with or recommendations for an intellectual property lawyer who had experience in the trademark application process for a company that sells antiques/collectibles? Thanks so much
They don't really recommend industry specific lawyers. Since Trademarks are federal law I believe I could use a layer that is based anywhere in the country. Was hoping somebody had a good experience with a lawyer who was familiar with listing goods and services, etc. for Antique/collectible businesses.
I just ran a Google search & this is the result. https://www.google.com/search?q=law...hUKEwjaku3MqafyAhVgGFkFHRcXAx0Q4dUDCAk&uact=5 I know absolutely zero about any of these lawyers or firms & some might be more local to SC where I live but you can try them for a start.
Sorry, I'm specifically looking for intellectual property lawyers that focus on antiques/collectibles etc.
You are probably just going to have to call some offices to see if anybody specializes in that field. https://www.google.com/search?q=int...&ved=0ahUKEwjqs7rlqafyAhUGF1kFHf_8B_oQ4dUDCA4 Good luck!!
I changed my original post to hopefully make it more clear. Looking for a lawyer who has experience helping companies that sells antiques/collectibles trademark their business (name/logo). Basically I thought their might be antique dealers here who have stores/brands that they trademarked, and I was wondering if they had recommendations on lawyers that helped them.
just to add to this conversation... . You do not need an attorney to file an application for registration of a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Once a trademark is registered, its owner should monitor its use. ... It is certainly possible for entrepreneurs to file applications and successfully register trademarks on their own. and......... Registering a trademark for a company name is pretty straightforward. Many businesses can file an application online in less than 90 minutes, without a lawyer's help. The simplest way to register is on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Web site, www.uspto.gov.
I appreciate the info, but again, my post is asking for recommendations on lawyers. I do understand that you can apply as an individual, but I was asking specifically about lawyers. The USPTO strongly suggests using a lawyer and not applying as an individual if you check out their site at the link you attached.
