How to Register Your Own Trademark: With Forms

Explains how to choose trademarks, answer an examiner's questions, and file an application, including forms for each part of the process

Warda is an attorney who writes and publishes self-help law books and teaches seminars on real estate law. This "how-to" book for the nonspecialist has a healthier ratio of text to appendixes (80 pages are text) than Warda's How To Register a United States Trademark (Sphinx Pub., 2d ed.) previous editions and has been reorganized and expanded. Hopefully, a final proofreading will clean up problems noted in the review copy: a small but important part included under filing an intent to use application should have appeared in the chapter on filing a mark already in use, several sample forms had entries in the wrong boxes, etc. Warda's book contains current forms and addresses as well as useful charts and checklists. However, if you have to choose between this volume and Kate McGrath's Trademark: How To Name a Business and Product (LJ 9/15/92), go with the more comprehensive McGrath. Appropriate for general library collections.
