Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

trademark office action response. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
