[E-trademarks] [E-trademarks-L] Scammy new group out of LA - Trademarkssprint

[Tara Aaron-Stelluto]

These guys might be real lawyers, but they’re marketing is unethical to say the least. Just another group out there harassing our clients. The difference with this crew is their finding companies that don’t have registrations yet and trying to scare them into letting the “firm” file the application.

We trust this message finds you well,

This is our final attempt to reach out to you regarding the registration of the brand name "XXXXX” If we do not receive your confirmation for registration today, we will proceed with the other applicant by tomorrow, potentially leading to the loss of your right to use the brand name.

Trademark infringement is prosecuted under civil laws, lawsuits over trademark infringement will usually require you to stop using the trademark, and you may have to return any profits made off of the infringing use or pay monetary damages for the use of the trademark.

 What is the penalty for violating a trademark?

The most common penalty for trademark infringement is an injunction or a cease-and-desist letter directing the infringer to stop using the trademarked material. It's also possible for criminal or civil penalties to result from an intentional violation of trademark law, although this is rare. Trademark infringement lawsuits can cost on average anywhere between $120,000 to $750,000 depending on the complexity of the case.



Understanding that you have been using the brand for an extended period, we have the flexibility to decline proceedings with the other party, especially if they are a startup company. If you are interested in securing ownership of the brand name "XXXXX" kindly respond urgently so that we can guide you through the registration process.

We appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response.



You can reach me at (213) -512-0359 (EXT 20)
