Law firm LegalForce RAPC is the largest filer of trademarks in the U.S.. It has filed several lawsuits against document preparation services, generally premised on the allegation that these firms are engaged in the unlicensed practice of law.

In this action against document preparation service TM411, LegalForce’s false advertising claim was dismissed as it insufficiently plead facts that various statements on TM411’s website would mislead consumers. With the federal claim out, the Court dismissed the remaining state unfair competition claims as well.
