Applying for a Trade Mark in Canada

Hello,

I am getting ready to start my Amazon Seller account, and am looking get my Trade Mark application going.

I have searched the group history and it seems that the IP Accelerator is viewed as over priced (Awesome. There’s one less question to ask) and several people said that hiring a local lawyer was cheaper and didn’t seem to delay the Amazon approval at all.

Has anyone done it themself?

Looking at it is doesn’t seem overly difficult, but perhaps the main reason for a lawyer is just to make sure all ts are crossed?

If someone here has applied for the Trade Mark by themself, would you do it that way again? Or do you really wish you hired a lawyer?

Why? / Why not?

Thank you so much.
