Have you heard?
The USPTO recently released a proposal to substantially increase trademark fees in the upcoming months. If approved, fees are expected to rise as much as 400% (and on average around 50%) beginning in fiscal year 2025 (which starts October 1, 2024). This is one more reason to initiate any filings that you may be considering early before these fee increases go into effect. This may be particularly relevant for maintenance filings, if the period has opened or will open shortly. For additional information, please go to https://www.uspto.gov/subscription-center/2024/proposed-trademark-fees-changes-fiscal-year-2025. We will keep you updated on more news from the USPTO in future posts. We would like to alert you to a new trademark scam that was recently brought to our attention where the correspondence purports to be from an agent who indicates that another party is trying to file your brand name. Specifically, it is an unsolicited email that demands urgent action be taken in order to protect a company’s trademark rights. This particular email scam purports to be from Jasper Zane from the company Trademark Sprint.
