Hypothetical question

Yeah quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

trademark office action response. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

Idk but just want to point out — teh 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 haha.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

Not surprised at all tbh.

The #1 mistake I see here is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
