I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

trademark office action response. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and teh situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I've dealt with this before.

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 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.

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.

Real talk: nAL as far as I know, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

Honestly? I'd get a consult. Changed my whole perspective when I did.
