Hey all

I'm an Aussie and I need to trademark my startup name in the US. I'm filing the trademark here in the next day or so and don't have 7 months to wait to lodge via the Madrid System so I will need to engage with either a US-based attorney or trademark registration service.

Can anyone recommend services they've been happy with? I have Trademark Engine on my radar as it's cheap ($99 USD + USPTO fees) and seems well reviewed so I'm keen to hear anything first hand about them.

I've played with the Xamarin samples and build a really simple app about 12 months ago. I found then that the app felt slow. This is obviously an abstraction layer and there are performance penalties involved there, but is Xam.Forms ready for use in commercial apps?

I found the framework to be a little bit buggy then, is that still true now? Has the speed improved? Is there anything obviously missing?

Thanks!

My partner is going to be testing software I've written. He handles the business side of things and isn't a programmer.

Can anyone suggest some resources for him to read to how to best touch our software?
