Warning flyers which we send to all unrepresented trade mark applicants when receipting their applications. <br /><br />We send them again with the letter advising when their mark is to be published in the Trade Marks Journal. <br /><br />We do likewise for Design customers when issuing registration certificates <br /><br />For Patents customers, the warning flyers are sent when we notify customers of the publication of the patent and again when we send the notification of the grant of the patent. <br /><br />2. Warnings on our website:<br /><br />www.ipo.gov.uk/t-unsolicited.htm <br /><br />You may like to know that we are currently reviewing their content and where they appear as part of a wider project. <br /><br />We are currently liaising with other government bodies to consider whether any of the unsolicited mail is breaching any regulations. <br /><br />Further, we plan to write to proprietors of registered trade marks about the issue in advance of their renewal date. <br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br />The IPOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
