“I’ll just take them to court and sue the pants off them!” That might be your initial reaction to finding out someone has infringed on your registered trademark rights. But before you take someone to court over trademark infringement, there are a few things you should know… 1. Recent studies show the cost of trademark litigation (if it goes all the way through trial) can be upwards of $500,000. 2. Those costs *will* likely be even higher. 3. Litigation can take over a year. It might feel good to stick it to the trademark copycat. But you have a lot of other options before it gets to the “sue the pants off them” stage. Reach out to an experienced trademark attorney when you first spot an infringer. (Or better yet, have a trademark attorney on retainer to police your mark FOR you.)

Can you handle trademark registration yourself? Absolutely—but here’s what to consider. Trademarking is a complex process that requires careful attention to legal details, and it’s easy to make costly mistakes when going it alone. The founders who choose to DIY, often find their applications rejected or their brand partially unprotected. Hiring an expert trademark attorney ensures you’re fully protected and reduces the risk of delays or issues down the road. When it's your legacy and your brand – you can't afford to wait.
