Beware of Trademark Scams: How to Spot and Avoid Deceptive Tactics Targeting Your Business

Trademark scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting businesses and trademark holders with deceptive tactics that are difficult to detect. These scammers often pose as official trademark offices or legal entities, sending notices that mimic legitimate correspondence. The communications typically include warnings about trademark renewals, registrations, or filings, creating a false sense of urgency. Many businesses, especially those unfamiliar with trademark processes, are caught off guard and end up paying unnecessary fees or providing sensitive information, leading to significant financial and security risks.
