BEWARE OF NOTICES REGARDING YOUR TRADEMARKS
1. Despite claims otherwise, the United States Trademark Protection Agency (USTPA) is NOT a governmental agency and the U.S. Trademark Office (USPTO) web site even showed a warning that the USTPA is NOT affiliated with the USPTO.
2. Some companies charge fees to be listed in their worldwide trademark registration directories. These are not official filings and their usefulness is limited and of no legal effect.
3. Other companies hire non-legal administrators to do trademark filings without proper supervision or training. These companies can prove very costly due to filing problems. Please do not be confused by these mailings to you. If we represent you, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office will not send mailings directly to you, they will be sent to us. While some of these companies offer legitimate services, we recommend you seek advice from legal counsel before utilizing them. Some examples of these companies include the following:
• Globus Edition S.L. in Spain
• Trademark Renewal Service in Washington, D.C.
• Company of Economic Publications Ltd. in Austria
• Edition The Marks KFT in Hungary
• United States Trademark Protection Agency located in Seattle, Washington
• Institute of Commerce for Industry, Trade, and Commerce located in Switzerland
• CPI (Company for Publications and Information Anstalt) in Liechtenstein (a phantom company which says it works with
• The Publication of Brand Names of the International Economy - another phantom company)
• IDM International Data Medium AnsbH in Liechtenstein
• S.A.R.L. - Societe pour Publications et Information located in Austria
• TMI Trademark Info Corporation located in Pearland, Texas
• ZDR - Datenregister GmbH in Germany
I recommend that you not make payments without first consulting your attorney. If you have already done so, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have. Remember all communications from the U.S. Trademark Office will come via my office only. For information, please contact David M. Adler at (312) 379-0236.
