Very basic. Mostly just a directory to the website. Would be better if course was run by a lawyer that was more sure on the specific details.

the instructor was very vague on exactly what he was trying to do on the website when he was looking up trademarks. No explanations of what he was looking for.

So far, everything the instructor Alex has mentioned was done in an interesting, easy to understand way. It's a great introduction into Trademarks and how to research the DIY style. Looking forward to learn the rest as it adds up to the know how which is important in the business field. Thanks Alex

Over all the instructor was good, but the information provided in this course in my opinion is very basic, I'd even say very Google-able. I'd suggest it for a beginner who has done no research on what trademarks are and/or attempted conducting a search for an existing one themselves. The course just didn't go into depth with any tips or tricks of doing a comprehensive search that I would have liked to learn so that I wouldn't feel the need to hire an attorney. So I'd have to say that unfortunately I didn't learn anything beneficial to help me conduct my own searches. Course description may want to reflect this is a basic search not a comprehensive search.

Good, but need a section on International Applications/Madrid Protocol. How do you protect your brand internationally.

Before this course I would always just take whatever url was available, but now I realized that it is always important to check for whether it is trademarked or not.

I have always skipped checking for trademarks, but it is really important and I am glad I took this course.
