Domain Trademark Service for US/Europe ?

[dotnom]

I search for a reliable trademark service to apply some of my domains
I'm interested for US and Europe (maybe Asia and Australia too)

Do you have any leads ?

TMs are earned through usage in commerce, you then register the eraned TM and have it registered.

Are you currently using the domains to a point where they gained secondary meaning in the marketplace? Would the TM be on the name within the domain or on the whole domain itself?

I understand what you say Philip, i have 4 trademarks for services i run from 1996

The names are LLL.coms and they don't have a commerical usage yet but they will be soon

However after the LH.com case and because of the value they have i thought it will be good to start from the trademark and then launch the services

Thats the site for the US. You can actually fill out forms online yourself and just pay the normal filing fee. I think it's like $325.

You could probably use some type of service like LegalZoom.com, but I don't know how much easier that would be than using the government site itself. Plus they charge you a pretty decent fee.

If you have no current use, you would probably file for a ITU (Intent to use) TM, then it doesn't become active until you show actual usage. And you have a limited amount of time to do it (i don't remember the amount of time).
