I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
trademark office action response. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The thing that gets people is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
Honestly? I'd get a consult. Changed my whole perspective when I did.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. Lawyer helped me sort it out pretty quick.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
I had to go over their head/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
