Filing trademark

Hello,

I wish to apply for a trademark for a brand name and hence approached some Law firms for the same. However, every firm  is asking to sign POA and every format is different. I am pasting below a format which I received recently. I would like to know whether there will be any issues from my side in future if this format is signed and given to the law firm to do the trademark activity for me. Can I be in a deadlock loop?

The search of the name is found not available, hence i can use the name Would need your advice and guidance on the same.

Thanks.

Regards

Jay

The format given is known as general power of authority by which the attorney is authorised to act on your behalf in all matters regarding trademarks. This is a wide power.You can also execute a single power of authority for carrying out a particular cctivity or function for eg filing trade mark application or obtaining registration. The stamp duty will be different.you can also process the application directly with the trademarks registry as it is not compulsory to appoint an attorney..
