Rocket Lawyer Trademark Filing: Just Don’t!!
This is a review for Rocket Lawyer’s Trademark division. In the simplest terms: stay far far far away! It’s part of their onboarding process when you open an LLC with them: “would you like to design a logo for your new company”. I fell for it took the generic AI generated logo they designed and ran with it and over the course of about month working with a designer turned it into a real logo we were proud of. Then the troubles started. I spoke to a lawyer in March of 2025. Provided all the info he needed, paid the legal fee and the USPTO filling fee, then made the mistake of thinking “he’s a professional, he knows his job”. I know it takes 8-12 months to get reviewed by USPTO so at month 8 I sent a “just checking in” email to the lawyer. About 2 days later he sends me an email titled “I forgot to send this to you”. It was the case number and details for the filing he had just made the day before…….in November. He never even filed back in March after our meeting, I suppose he just got busy and forgot and tried to play it off like I wouldn’t notice the filing date: NOVEMBER! To make matters worse he filed the wrong trademark, the one I told him I would wait to file after seeing how the first one went. Too many details already the short version: they tried to make amends by filing the correct logo in December at no charge (for the legal fees), but getting any update or confirmation from them on the current status and whether it was actually ever filed is next to impossible. If I could cancel the whole transaction it would be worth the lost filing fee just to not have to deal with them again. So no. Never again. I’ve learned my lesson. Pay a little more for a real trademark attorney who will actually give a crap about your money, your time and your business. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! You’ve been warned.
