Another happy customer.. Rick is hands down THE BEST out there for helping you land the trademark you need. After a 2 year initial wait, I was initially denied mine due to a ruling that it was too similar to another mark (and discussed the issue with numerous other attorneys that all told me to give up) before finally talking to Rick and hiring him. All I can say is THANK GOD I did! Rick was able to not only appeal that decision - but also helped us find the competing mark, when it was due for renewal, and eventually get ours approved when theirs lapsed due to non-renewal! Thank you again Rick - your services were worth every penny spent!!

This week, the United States Department of Justice announced that Viktors Suhorukovs, a citizen of Latvia, was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison and ordered to pay over $4.5 million in restitution after pleading guilty to mail fraud in a multi-million-dollar scheme to defraud owners of U.S. trademark registrations. Suhorukovs established and operated Patent and Trademark Office, LLC, and Patent and Trademark Bureau, LLC. These entities gave the false impression that they were, in fact, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), scamming more than 2,900 U.S. trademark registrants out of millions of dollars for inflated, and often fake, renewal fees.

This is one of many schemes that confuse and defraud owners of U.S. registrations with solicitations that are intended to look like official USPTO correspondence. These schemes often falsely promise to take required maintenance actions on behalf of the registration owner, or they scam registrants into paying for services they don’t need.
