<p>A few days ago, for the very first time, I clicked around in Trademark Center. This was in a shared desktop situation where I was helping somebody click around in it. The person has a plan of filing <em>pro se</em> a few days from now. So our goal was to click around in Trademark Center together and see what the workflow is like.</p>
<p>I happened to be already logged in to MyUSPTO at the time. And I clicked around to commence use of Trademark Center. I was sharing my screen with the would-be future <em>pro se</em> filer.</p>
<p>What jumped out at me was, it absolutely refused to allow the session to move forward <em>pro se</em>. It demanded that an attorney be identified for the to-be-filed application.</p>
<p>Maybe others have more experience with Trademark Center. Is there a way to use Trademark Center <em>pro se</em>? <br><br>Is it simply that I had already been logged in at MyUSPTO? That was what made it impossible to proceed <em>pro se</em>?</p>
