LegalZoom has been sued in a Missouri class action for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. A marketer of “legal document services,” LegalZoom allows customers to generate legal forms online and download completed forms for filing. Although the Missouri case is based principally on will and corporation formation, LegalZoom also offers services in the area of Intellectual Property, including low cost trademark applications and provisional patent applications. It remains to be seen whether the Missouri case will have an impact on LegalZoom’s intellectual property related business.
