Beware of latest scam from Worldwide Trademarks, Inc. aka Worldwide Trademarks at 447 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10013.
The offer, for $2760, is for inclusion in a publication. A publication with no real value. I have never heard any trademark professional recommend inclusion in such a publication; nor any trademark professional use such a publication for any research.
They are incomplete and unofficial. They do not add to your trademark’s protection in any meaningful way.
If you have been taken by this scam, I suggest that you file a complaint with the FTC, write a letter to the USPTO Commissioner, and contact law enforcement.
Beware of such scams. Read the fine print. Contact your attorney. Report scams to the FTC and USPTO.
