Need Help Understanding Trademarking, Registering, Etc.

[Anonymous]

I have a small business, which is an S-corporation. As part of that business, I have created a large conference and e-newsletter service with a valuable mailing list.

I would like to register or trademark (whichever is correct) the title of the conference and its logo. I assume that I need an attorney to do that for me; can anyone give guidance on how to find? I'm obviously not even 100% sure what I'm asking, so sorry if this doesn't make sense... I just don't want anyone else to be able to duplicate the name of the conferece. Thank you!

I used to work as a trademark attorney at the pto. I would recommend hiring an attorney.

OT but what do you do now? That is such a cushy job, why did you give it up?

The work life benefits are great but the actual job is super tedious and repetitive. Very boring.

Pp. ps. Also there is huge pressure to perform, meet the quotas, if you have one of the bad managers, which I did. He forced people to work unpaid over time so that his overall team numbers were higher so that he would get a higher bonus. Illegal bc then the managers who follow the law get screwed.
