Description

Serving Brandon, Florida 33511 This is Brian Collins, Intellectual Property Attorney at Law. I am writing to inform you that we have received a trademark application for a business name identical to yours, ***** ******* ******** ********. However, it appears that your business name is not registered federally with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which allows others to proceed with their registration. Please be advised that, under the protocols of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and intellectual property regulations, priority is generally given to the original business owner over subsequent applicants. Therefore, it is crucial to confirm whether you are interested in securing federal trademark rights for your business name. If you wish to proceed with the registration, please respond to this email so we can guide you through the necessary steps. This process involves completing the required forms, an attorney fee of $250, and a government fee of $350 per classification. A classification is essentially a category under which your business falls within the USPTO system. It is determined by the primary nature of your business, the products/services you offer, and all aspects related to the use of your mark. ? Please be advised that if you choose not to register the trademark, the other applicant will be allowed to proceed, as the USPTO processes applications on a first-come, first-served basis. ? Your prompt response is required. The other applicant's registration is currently on hold pending your decision. If we do not receive a response to this letter, the other applicant will be allowed to proceed with their registration in accordance with the standard examination and filing procedures at the USPTO. ?Pursuant to the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 1051 et seq.), it is necessary to register your mark to secure federal ownership rights. Sincerely,
