<p>In our office, when we prepare a TEAS form for e-signature by a
client, we pre-populate the phone-number field with dashes or
zeroes. This makes it impossible for the signer to enter a phone
number.</p>
<p>Yes you are quite right that the Trademark Office should do away
with the telephone-number field, at least for cases in which the
applicant is represented by counsel.<br>

<p>Let's see if I follow you on this. The scammer went to the
trouble of looking up the phone number of the client (how does
one even look up phone numbers these days?) and used that
phone number to contact the client?<span
style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>I suppose the client might have some online presence such as
a web site, with a phone number in it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But wow. The scammer would go to this extra trouble? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Until now what I have been communicating to clients, when we
file a trademark application, is that they will be getting
scam letters in the mail. And I go out of my way to avoid
including a client phone number in anything that I file, just
as you do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But now I guess what I have to do is add another sentence to
the warning, namely to watch out for scam phone calls as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Dang it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you for posting.<o:p></o:p></p>

hope this email finds you well. We are writing to address
a time-sensitive matter related to your trademark
application named “<b>XXXXXX</b>”. Upon reviewing your
application, it has come to our attention that while you
initiated the trademark application process, you did not
proceed with the government classifications, resulting in
an incomplete filing. Unfortunately, due to this
incomplete filing, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) has received another application for the
same trademark and name.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

USPTO has notified us that there is a potential conflict
between your application and the new application. To
resolve this matter, we need your immediate clarification
on your intent to proceed with the registration of the
trademark under the same name and mark. If you still
intend to proceed with the trademark registration, we
require your confirmation within the next 24 hours.
Failure to confirm your intention to register will result
in the USPTO transferring the rights to the trademark name
and mark to the new applicant. Please understand that time
is of the essence, and we strongly recommend that you
respond promptly to this email. If you have any questions
or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact us immediately at 442-305-4348.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
