Trademark scams continue to proliferate. This looks essentially identical to past scams, but with a new “name” from TMP and a new address at TMP Online Services, 31-07 31st Avenue, Unit 102, Astoria, NY 11106. The offer asks for $1280.
These “publication” offerings are worthless. For more, see the Trademark Scam Decision Tree.
If you got this letter from TMP, trash it. Or better yet report them to the USPTO, the FTC, and for mail fraud and scamming at the US Postal Inspection Service at https://www.uspis.gov/report.
It seems to me that this offer clear evidence of an intent to mislead and defraud consumers who own trademark filings with the USPTO. When will the USPTO, Trademark Public Advisory Committee (TPAC), Fair Trade Commission (FTC), Department of Justice (DoJ), and U.S. Postal Service (USPS) ramp up any investigations and crack downs on these scams. Of course it is not easy to track the catch those behind these offerings, but is enough being done? Not in my opinion.
