ABOUT AGAINST MADRID INTERNATION TRADEMARK REGISTRATION FRAUD

In Madrid International Trademark Registration, some applicants and representatives have received some oversea letters and notifications which require paying fees for trademark registration. Furthermore, Some of these letters and notifications are not official or authorized by official. So, We hope applicants and representatives can raise awareness.

These letters and notifications may have following characteristics:

(1) Using similar names, abbreviations or signs to WIPO or other foreign trademark offices;

(2) Including Madrid International Registration Number, applicants information, trademark signs, goods or services information and so on;

(3) Promising they can provide services for registration, renewing or monitoring and requiring paying fees;

(4) Requiring paying fees by other means and so on.

WIPO have posted related information:
