received this email - "Dear Ted Iverson, This is an urgent and serious matter that demands your immediate action. As I previously stated, a trademark application for "Iverson Consulting Group" was submitted to our firm more than 24 hours ago. This represents a significant threat to your brand, and ignoring it is not an option. Failing to act swiftly could lead to severe legal consequences, including costly lawsuits that could range from $120,000 to $750,000. The risk of injunctions and cease-and-desist orders is very real, and your brand could be severely compromised. Given your established use of the name, we need to move fast to protect your interests and potentially block the other party, especially if they are a new player in the market. We are ready to file your trademark application immediately and ensure your brand remains secure. Do not delay. Contact me immediately at (213) 767-7431 (EXT 19) or reply to this email right now. Your failure to act could have serious, costly repercussions. This situation is critical. Respond without hesitation. Regards, Richard Williams Intellectual Property Attorney 213-767-7431 (ext 19) [email protected] 5 S. Grand Ave, Suite 2440 Los Angeles, CA 90071" My IP attorney did a check. No one has tried to register "Iverson Consulting Group" and if we did want to register it as a trademark the words "Consulting Group" would be considered descriptive and so the focus would be on the word "Iverson", which is primarily a surname and it would be rejected. He confirmed for me that Trademark Excellence is a scam site offering scam services.
