Getting Taken by a Trademark Scam

It’s no secret that I’ve had some trademark issues. When you build a business, you’re bound to be touched by trademarks in some way. You could file for your own trademark, or someone could be infringing on yours or you could be trying to be preventative. There are a lot of areas.  One that is particularly unnerving is getting a notice from an attorney or, even worse, the United States Trademark and Patent Office that you’re infringing on someone else’s trademark or that your trademark is in jeopardy. Everyone can guess the reaction letters like that would cause. Pure panic to anyone who receives it. Do you know who knows that best? Scammers. I know this because I just almost got trademark scammed.  In this episode, I’m sharing what trademark scam I was targeted with, what I did, the most common types of trademark scams, and how to keep yourself protected.
