As a trademark owner, you must be diligent in reviewing and maintaining your trademarks at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Many trademark owners rely on their counsel to be vigilant and monitor their trademarks on their behalf. At Hodgson Russ, our intellectual property team reviews USPTO records in association with our clients’ trademark portfolios.
Recently, while conducting monitoring services for a client, a well-known clothing company, it came to our attention that an unknown third party filed a trademark application in our client’s name using counterfeit specimens to evidence use. The fraudulent application was filed to appear as if our client filed the application itself. All of the filing information was accurate, except the name and email address used within the correspondent information was fictitious, and the email used traced back to an IP address located in China, not associated with our client.
