Do you have the resources to defend the trademark?
If you are forming the next Facebook or Instagram then yeah I'd get all the
legalese done. If it's just your small company in your home town it's
probably a waste of time and money.
2 cents YMMV IMNAL

I spent the money to trademark the logo, namemark, and slogan. I hired an
intellectual property attorney to do it and it was about $2500 for all
three.

I didn't do it at launch though. We were almost two years in when I
decided that it was worth protecting. We had moved out of the living room,
then the 10x10, then the storage sheds, into a 4400 square foot facility.
Only then did I decide that it was worth protecting.

My point was once you have it registered etc do you have the resource
(financially) to defend what you have protected? If someone started using
your mark can you throw down lawyer up and go after them?
I bring this up because we had looked a getting a patent for a product we
designed and produced
I would definitely lawyer up and defend it.
