Reminds me of this classic movie scene:

I'm doing a clearance for a potential mark for a client. One registered
mark is clearly a sham; Photoshopped specimen, long list of unrelated
goods, Shopify store no longer exists, the proof of sale submitted as a
specimen shows that the order was created, marked paid, and fulfilled
all in the same minute. I don't know why the obvious Photoshop isn't a
flag to take a little harder look at the rest of the specimen?

When I Googled the address for the second, the first hit is a news
article about scams run from the address, which is used by at least 21
registered agents, the particular one mentioned in the article the agent
for over 50,000 companies. How is that address a domicile?

How is it that our clients get caught trying to use a WeWork address but
obvious fraudulent applications like this get registered?
