LOST.guide
Lawyer Outlined Self-help Tutorials
When you feel lost in legal forms, you need a guide.
Free, attorney-led tutorials for the IRS, USPTO, and U.S. Copyright Office forms entrepreneurs actually file. Written and recorded by a NY-licensed attorney.
Pick a form, get unstuck →Three ways to feel less lost
Each guide is a free intake walkthrough with an AI assistant that produces a pre-filled filing package an NY-licensed attorney has vetted. Watch the video. Follow the steps. Or upgrade to have us file it for you.
Lost like Alice
EIN — the Form SS-4 rabbit hole
"I started an LLC and now there are 47 things I supposedly need to file." Pick the rabbit hole, end up with a CP 575 letter and a sane fiscal-year choice.

Trademark — tilting at USPTO windmills
"My brand is mine, but somehow it isn't." Knockout search across USPTO TESS + state databases + App Store + Play Store before any government fee gets paid.
▶ Watch the guide ↗ Open the form →Lost like Montag
Copyright — what to do when your work burns
"Someone's pirating my work and I can't sue them." Register the work, then enforce. Statutory damages and attorney's fees on the table only after you've registered.

What LOST.guide IS: free written and video tutorials, intake walkthroughs, and pre-filled filing packages, prepared by an NY-licensed attorney for educational purposes. You can use them yourself with no charge from us.
What LOST.guide is NOT: legal advice for your specific situation. We don't have an attorney-client relationship until you sign an engagement letter and pay an attorney fee. The intake AI explains the general rules. It does not give you a legal opinion.

We search live — USPTO (the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office), the App Store, Google Play, GitHub, Product Hunt & the web — in seconds, so you spot a conflict before a non-refundable government fee tells you NO. Make sure YES is an option.
