Quite frequently, clients send me copies of official-looking documents that they have received relating to a non-U.S. patent, trademark or domain name. ?The documents typically describe an upcoming deadline and request that the client pay a fee in order to keep the patent, trademark or domain name in effect.
My advice to clients who receive these letters is generally this: ??if you didn?t receive it from your attorney, it?s probably a scam.?
My colleague Christopher Kinkade recently published a useful article describing the USPTO?s official warning about such scams for trademarks, along with a companion article?relating to domain name registration scams. ?To read Chris? articles, click here (trademarks)?or here (for domain names).
