So I acquired this e-mail at the moment:

"Pricey xxxx, I hope you might be doing properly. I’m Zack Walker from Mental Property Specialists. We've obtained an utility to register the trademark "XXXXXXX". Throughout our USPTO search, we discovered your utility marked as DEAD. We require your affirmation of whether or not you plan to retain the trademark rights below your possession. If not, the opposite applicant will transfer ahead with the registration. Be suggested: trademark rights are granted on a first-come, first-served foundation. As soon as rights are transferred, you can not reapply for a similar mark for 10 years, and unauthorized use could lead to needed actions. Should you re-secure the trademark, no different occasion can use it nationwide. If the opposite applicant registers it, you need to stop use. Failure to reply will enable the opposite applicant to proceed with their registration, following the usual USPTO examination and submitting procedures. As acknowledged within the Trademark Part of 1946 (15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq.), federal registration is crucial to safe possession rights on your mark. Kindly reply inside two enterprise days to stop forfeiting the mark. Thanks."

This appeared fairly sus, since my continued use of my trademark provides me widespread legislation rights to it in my area, regardless of my registration expiring (I trademarked it with plans to go nationwide, however scaled again my plans). The agency's web site seems to be spectacular and virtually legit however too generic. Anyway, I seemed their deal with up on Google avenue view, and there was no signal for an legal professional's workplace. And not one of the 4 listed attorneys with AI trying pics had been registered with the California bar. So I believed I'd publish this in case anybody goes trying on Reddit to see if an e-mail from this agency is a rip-off.
