WARNINGS

Trademark Info Corp - Don't Pay These People!!

An organization named Trademark Info Corp. is sending out a document to Canadian registered trade-mark owners offering "publication of protected trade-marks on the internet" for the fee of CDN $1330. The website of this organization is here.

At first glance, this document looks like an invoice.

There is NO GOOD REASON for anyone to pay any money to these people. Any Canadian trademark registration is already recorded and can be viewed at the Government of Canada's official website for the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, which is here.

Remember what P.T. Barnum is said to have said - "There's a sucker born every minute."

These types of scams have been around for quite some time, but this appears to be the first one based in Canada. Thanks to Howard Knopf for bringing this to our attention. Go to Howard's Blog.
