The firms offer entry in "a trade-mark-register" by requesting payment of a considerable amount of money.
The circular letters these companies send are deceiving as it is suggested by the wording itself and by sending sometimes a copy of a recent trade mark publication in an official journal - which, in general, also indicates the address for service - that the owner might acquire trade mark rights if the mark will be entered into these registers. This is absolutely not the case! Neither is it a solicitation for a watch service.
If you receive such invitations - also if they are from other firms - we recommend to ignore it. If you are still in doubt please do not hesitate to contact us.
