Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
trademark office action response. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Here's where people usually go wrong is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Of course the details matter a lot here.
Following this thread — bump -- also need to know this
I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. Lawyer helped me sort it out pretty quick.
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 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 my coworker too.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
