Doesn't anyone on this forum have contacts w/ a good trademark lawyer who'll advise for little or no cost? A friend, brother, sister, acquaintance? I'm going to follow some leads and see if I can't dig somebody up myself.
OK, I can't break any ethics rules, so I'm not gonna advise who to use nor tell you which firm is mine...and I'm certain it won't be free (I'd do the work for free, but I've never done trademarks stuff (I only do patent work) so you'd be better off paying someone who knows what they are doing), but these are some of the BIG boys of IP. If you want patents, trademarks, copyrights, or litigation dealing with the above, these are your firms
Fish and Richardson
Sutherland Asbill and Brennan
Fish and Neave
Needle and Rosenberg
Kilpatrick Stockton
Morris Manning and Martin
Merchant and Gould
Alston and Bird
Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett and Dunner
King and Spalding
Womble Carlyle
Jones Day
Any one of these firms can duke it out with anyone in the world and win. Some have more trademark experience and some are better at litigation, but all of the rock.
By the way, if we start taking up a collection, count me in.
