I do not find a problem with do it yourself copyrighting, especially
since we joined the Berne Convention. However, my suggestion is to
contact an Intellectual Property (IP) attorney if you are trying 
to register a federal trademark. Registration of a federal Trademark or
service mark has a number of traps for the unwary. Since it shares
the PTO with patents, prosecution of trademarks is more akin to
prosecution of patents than registration of a trademark. Your best
bet is to find a patent attorney in your yellow pages. Patent attorneys
almost allways also are experienced in registering trademarks.
