Staying Alert And Helping You Avoid Trademark Solicitation Scams
When you file a trademark, it becomes public record. Most trademark owners do not know that you must submit additional filings on a periodic basis to keep the trademark registration alive and protect your intellectual property. These deadlines can be far between, causing many trademark holders to forget.
The process of obtaining a trademark can be complicated with multiple steps, applications and filings. The complexity of the process leaves many trademark holders vulnerable to scams created to take money for fraudulent services.

Certain companies prey upon this forgetfulness. They go through the public records to determine when deadlines are coming up on certain trademarks and send solicitations to those holders, telling them that the deadline is approaching. They often appear as an official agency and ask for money to renew the trademark in an attempt to solicit business.
These are scams fishing for money through fraudulent services. It is important that you carefully investigate any notice or solicitation you receive through the mail to determine where it comes from before sending any money for renewal.
If you have received a suspicious notification or solicitation, please contact our offices to determine if it is legitimate or a fraudulent attempt to take your money. Call one of our intellectual property lawyers today.
