Whether it's worth it or not is really a judgement call on your part.

Step 1. Talk to an intellectual property attorney.

I strongly advise against doing it yourself, though, of course, you may if you wish.

Just remember that the two common axioms exist for a reason: 1. A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client; and the flip side, 2. A non-lawyer who represents himself has a fool for an attorney.
