Thank you for the kind words, Paula. I'm wondering if you'd find even more value in the course that I put out at learn.trademarkfactory.com You're welcome to use promo code *ytlive* to get 75% off while the deal lasts.
What if I added the terms on the actual government trademark register of approved class words. I'm registering a UK trademark that has about 7 different classes which has some product classes and service classes
What do you think the odds are of a successful appeal to a rejection of a trademark application [hypothetical example]: "Gather Together" (which was rejected) because there is an existing trademark of "Americans Gather Together". Could this be successfully appealed?
Intellectual property, and trademarks in particular, are very fact specific, so hypothetical examples may not be overly useful. In your case, I would give it maybe a 20% chance (because you'd have an argument that in Americans Gather Together is a weak trademark where "gather" describes a state of things whereas in your 2-word phrase "gather" acts as a command. Either way, it would be an uphill climb and we would not be recommending our clients to move forward with such a trademark.
At 6:40 you talk about reponding to office actions and being a US citizen. Do you need a US attourney to respond to office actions if you used the madrid protocol i.e. filed my own Canadian application and want to use Madrid for USA application.
Yes you do. Check out the official document from the USPTO that clarifies it: www.wipo.int/edocs/madrdocs/en/2019/madrid_2019_52.pdf In other words, while you do not need a U.S. attorney to FILE a Madrid application that designates the U.S. as one of the countries, you do need one if there is a provisional refusal (office action), opposition, or if you need to file the maintenance statement of use. Hope this helps.

Yes, using the wording from the preapproved list reduces the risks.
