I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

trademark office action response. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
