Description

Dear Name. I hope this email finds you well. We are reaching out regarding an urgent trademark matter concerning {{Company Name}}. Another party has approached us to file for the trademark of this name. However, after thorough research, we discovered that they are a new startup and have only used the name for a few months. In contrast, our research shows that you have a long-standing usage of this name, making your claim significantly stronger. As per our policy, we are giving you the first right to file for the trademark before proceeding with the other party. Your Options: Proceed with filing: We can immediately submit the trademark application, ensuring your exclusive rights to the name. Decline to proceed: The USPTO follows a first-come, first-served system, which means we will move forward with the other party’s application, potentially leading to serious legal consequences for your business. If the other party secures the trademark, they will have exclusive rights to the name, which means you would no longer be able to use it freely. Under the Lanham Act, this could lead to potential trademark infringement claims, and you could face legal penalties, including damages, injunctions, and even a lawsuit for continuing to use the name after it has been registered by another entity. Additionally, the other party could demand that you cease and desist from using the name, causing significant disruption to your business operations. To avoid these risks, we strongly advise you to act swiftly. USPTO does not allow indefinite holds, so if you wish to proceed, please confirm at your earliest convenience. For any questions or to proceed, please reply to this email or call our front desk at (818) 262-2803. We appreciate your immediate attention and look forward to your response.
