The Commercial Team at Coleman Greig Lawyers have been assisting
clients with a recent surge in sophisticated scam emails
impersonating trade mark attorneys and IP professionals. These
fraudulent communications are intended to trick recipients into
taking unnecessary and costly action, under the guise of protecting
their intellectual property rights.
A number of our clients have recently received alarming emails
claiming that another party has initiated a trade mark application
for their business name. These emails often create a false sense of
urgency, pressuring recipients to respond quickly and take
immediate action to protect their brand.
Unfortunately, these communications are part of a growing scam
designed to exploit business owners' fears about losing their
business brand and related intellectual property rights.
