Registering a trademark requires many procedures to be taken care of, and you have to invest a lot of work into it. You may feel certain that no one else holds a trademark similar to yours but there still could be a possibility of denial due to many reasons like lack of distinctiveness and similarity to a current trademark. These are the reasons why you require a trademark lawyer to help you.

A trademark lawyer is an expert who has expertise in working with trademark registration as well as action against violation. He or she can assist you to assess whether your trademark is exclusive and specific enough. Of several modes of registration, the lawyer can recommend to you the most suitable one given your requirements. For instance, he can guide you on the usage of a symbol alone or a symbol along with text, according to the nature of your product.

A trademark lawyer can use his vast experience to make sure that not only is your trademark appropriate for registration, but all the paperwork is also filled and completed correctly as governed by the relevant procedures. As you are not likely to have complete understanding in the field of trademark formalities, help from an expert lawyer with completing the application papers correctly will help in getting successful registration of your trademark.

Also, even though the trademark officials have a data bank of all the registered trademarks, going through all the trademarks and ensuring the uniqueness from one's own mark is quite a difficult task. Especially for laymen, who do not have much idea of the details of intellectual property legalities and procedures, the job may prove to be difficult to handle.

Therefore, even though theoretically an individual can get a trademark registration carried out on his own, it is always advisable to involve a trademark lawyer who can put forward your case for trademark registration in the best possible way.
