[E-trademarks] Trademark Mill

[Kelcey Patrick-Ferree]

Hi all,

I've somehow never had this come up before. I have a client who is
concerned about an application filed by a Legalzoom-type trademark mill.
Since the mill employee is an attorney and was listed as the attorney of
record, I sent a letter about the concerning application to the mill
employee. The mill employee promptly withdrew as attorney of record for the
application and asked me to contact the applicant directly.

But the mill's email address is still listed as a secondary email address
for contacting the now-technically-unrepresented applicant, and the "docket
number" code hasn't changed.

Seems like they're trying to be the attorney of record without actually
being the attorney of record/representing the applicant. Anyone ever seen
this before?

Warm regards,
Kelcey
