Can I do the trademark application myself?

Do The Trademark Application Yourself

You may elect to do a significant portion of the trademark application yourself. If you choose to prepare and submit the application without using a third party you can save $200 - $600 per mark.

The Trademark Manual of Examination Procedures (TMEP) is the definitive reference work on trademark registration practices and procedures. It is a resource for United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) examining attorneys, trademark applicants, and attorneys and representatives for trademark applicants.

It is available for download at no charge on the USPTO.gov website.
