IMPORTANT WARNING - Misleading requests for payment for trade mark and design services such as publication, registration or entry in business directories.
Users in Europe are receiving an increasing amount of unsolicited mail from companies requesting payment for trade mark and design services such as publication, registration or entry in business directories.
A list of letters from firms or registers, which users have complained are misleading, is published below for your information. Please note that these services are not connected with any official trade mark or design registration services provided by public bodies within the European Union such as OHIM.
If you receive a letter or invoice please check carefully what is being offered to you, and its source. Please note that the OHIM never sends invoices to users or letters requesting direct payment for services.
If you have any doubt or detect any new case, please check with your legal advisors or contact us at +34 96 513 9100 or by e-mail at information@oami.europa.eu.
We include below some sample letters from firms or registers, which have nothing to do with OHIM's registers or official publications. (Click on the images to enlarge them).
