USPTO: Does it Covers Everything or not?

All the applications for Federal Registration of a trademark are examined by the USPTO to decide whether the marks fulfill the criteria for registration. The USPTO employees address the customer queries regarding the application procedure free of cost. However, they are unable to provide information regarding any legal matters. For all information regarding the legal aspects of the application, the applicant should take the help of an attorney who has specialized in intellectual property matters.
