LegalZoom Compared

Unlike LegalZoom, Trademark Access does not provide self-help legal services. Rather, Trademark Access provides you the security of personalized one-on-one trademark services from an experienced trademark attorney. With Trademark Access, you not only get personal consultation with an experienced trademark attorney, but you also get your own personal trademark attorney who will prepare and file your trademark application for you and can provided you with an opinion and advice regarding trademark search results.

LegalZoom is one of the most well known self-help legal services companies in the United States.  LegalZoom is an online legal documentation service that provides self-help legal services. As implied by “self-help,” instead of having an experienced attorney do your trademark work, you do the work yourself. As you can see from the table below, the primary difference between Trademark Access and a self-help service is that with Trademark Access you get the services of an experienced trademark lawyer throughout the entire trademark registration process.

As acknowledged by the USPTO, most trademark applicants use a trademark attorney because of the many legal and technical requirements of the trademark registration process. Do you really want to attempt doing for yourself what an experienced trademark attorney has spent years training to do? Let the experienced trademark attorneys at Trademark Access help you!

*   Note that LegalZoom has recently added its Business Advantage Pro service that includes some attorney consultation time. However, this service comes with a more expensive trademark package that costs about $30 per month in addition to the $189 cost for the trademark package.  Since a typical trademark application is not assigned to a trademark examiner by the USTPO for at least three months, and takes 8-12 months before registration, the $30 monthly fee can easily add up to over $300 above the $189 LegalZoom currently charges for its “Complete Coverage” Trademark Package. Thus, a trademark applicant could end up paying over $489 for trademark services having limited attorney assistance.
