Lloyd & Mousilli Warns of Trademark Scams in Forthcoming Webinar

Lloyd & Mousilli, a leading law firm specializing in intellectual property, technology and business law, is set to host a webinar titled “Don’t Get Tricked: Unmasking the Most Common Trademark Scams,” in collaboration with Alt Legal, a premier provider of IP docketing software. The event is scheduled for October 29, 2024, at 2:00 PM CT and will shed light on various fraudulent schemes targeting trademark applicants and their attorneys.

The webinar, sponsored by Alt Legal, aims to help participants recognize and navigate the increasing number of trademark scams, including fake email and phone solicitations that often deceive businesses and individuals seeking trademark protection. The discussion will focus on practical advice for avoiding these common pitfalls and the steps necessary to safeguard trademarks against such threats.

Topics Covered in “Don’t Get Tricked: Unmasking the Most Common Trademark Scams”

• The sinister scams trademark attorneys and applicants are facing today
• Clues and red flags to watch for in email and phone solicitations
• Ways to protect your clients from falling into a scammer’s trap
• How to “exorcise” fraudulent uses of your credentials from the US Trademark Register

Rachael Dickson, Senior Trademark Counsel at Lloyd & Mousilli, will lead the presentation, drawing from her extensive experience in handling trademark law cases and protecting clients from fraudulent trademark practices. She will be joined by a panel of experts—Erik Pelton (Erik M. Pelton & Associates), Kayla Jimenez (US IP Attorneys), and Ana Vinueza (Commercial Counsel in Biotech)—who will share insights and best practices to equip trademark attorneys with the knowledge to protect themselves and their clients from fraud.

“While these types of trademark scams have existed for years, they’ve clearly gotten worse in recent months. Thousands of applications have been fraudulently filed at the USPTO using stolen attorney credentials! Applicants are also being constantly inundated with faux threats to their trademarks and faked invoices for unnecessary services. This event is designed to raise awareness of these scams and provide applicants and attorneys with the tools to spot and combat them,” says Rachael Dickson.
