While it is not required, it is highly recommended to hire a trademark attorney when filing for a trademark. Trademark attorneys have specialized knowledge and expertise in trademark law, which can greatly benefit your trademark application. They can conduct thorough trademark searches, ensure proper filing procedures, and handle any legal complexities that may arise. Their assistance can increase the chances of a successful trademark registration and help protect your brand effectively.
