I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

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

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Important to note: statutes of limitations vary by state. In California it's generally 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. Don't wait too long to take action or you might be time-barred.
