<p>Over the past couple of years I looked at several clusters of
trademark filings where it turned out some lawyer's name had been
appropriated. In each case that I looked at, the victim was a
lawyer who had never touched a trademark file ever before in his
or her life.</p>
<p>Those lawyers are not going to have a clue that it is somehow
important to make a stop at the USPTO web site once a month to do
a search for their own name in the trademark search system.</p>

Attorney Identity Theft</p>
</div>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Today the
ABA Journal Weekly Newsletter ran a story about
Ana Belén Vinueza, a corporate attorney for
Illumina (California) whose identity and
credentials were stolen and used to file more
than 2000 trademark applications.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>According to
the article, female attorneys licensed in
California currently run the highest risk of
this type of identity misappropriation. The
USPTO is aware of at least 30 such cases of
similar identity theft for the purpose of filing
new trademark applications.</span></p>
