So I'm a moderator here but I'm also an intellectual property attorney and I do a lot of trademark work and help people out with their branding.

I'd be happy to sit down with people and give kind of an overview of trademarks and how they work with the USPTO if there's interest.

How much does this cost? Nothing. I'd be doing this for free mostly just to meet you guys and share some knowledge that might be useful.

Is this legal advice? Nope. I can't tell you specifically what to do or how to substantively respond to an office action or whatever.

Can we talk about patents? No. I rarely touch patent work but if there's a lot of interest in learning about patents I can rope my partner into showing up.

If you all think this would be useful I'm usually available in the middle of the day around lunch but I can also do evenings now that the sun is going down later.

And if there's no interest in this then no big deal. If people think it's useful I'll put it together.
