Summary: Makes applying for trademarks less difficult
Review: This software is actually made by Official Software, LLC (not Enteractive, Inc. as shown in the product page). It uses an interactive interviewing function to step you through the trademark process. The function selects the correct forms that you need, and identifies the classification under which you need to file and lets you know what needs to be included in the submission package. Provided are editable forms from the USPTO, and advice (also from USPTO) for filling in the forms. As you fill in the forms using the interactive interview process you'll be building your submission package. The program also does online searches to ensure that your trademark is available. However, I strongly encourage you to not submit the completed package that the program builds without first consulting with an attorney who practices IP law. This program simplifies the process and does the up-front work, but is no substitute for competent legal advice from qualified professionals. If you are also pursuing copyright(s), you will find more value in the Intellectual Property Suite, which bundles this program with the companion program called Official Copyright Software 1.53, which will save money. Moreover, if you are seeking trademark(s) in connection with e-commerce or Internet products or services I strongly recommend that you read CyberRegs: A Business Guide to Web Property, Privacy, and Patents by Bill Zoellick.
