Not an attorney, but I've worked at an IP firm for 2.5+ years. I wouldnt recommend trademarking yourself unless you have someone with experience and knowledge of the trademark system. I've personally seen many cases of people trying to do this on their own to lose out on rights and $. Hiring a lawyer is generally worth it in IP cases.
Hi Co-founder 1, PM me.
EC/VC attorney here at a big firm. Obviously I’m biased but yeah, you should hire someone to get it right. Don’t half-ass it. If you get traction, you’re going to get called out on it when you raise for the first time by your lead investor and have to spend more $ to fix it down the road. And it’s not intuitive all the time what you can trademark, what trademarks might be more easily defensible and so forth.
