2, the workload generally depends on yourself, just like a salesman, you have more customers, naturally busy, and many things.
Trademark agency usually starts with trademark application, so it is one-sided. And the cycle of this trademark transaction is really long and tiring. It depends on how your firm wants to train you, whether it just wants you to pull business, or whether something else is more developed. If your career plan is an intellectual property lawyer, then you have too many things to learn, and you can't be an intellectual property lawyer like a trademark agent all your life. I suggest you consider carefully and choose a large professional intellectual property law firm, otherwise it will delay time and things!
Wish you all the best!
