GettingTrademark

On this page I will track my experience of getting my first Trademark

To have some more fun with my new hobby I decided to get a trademark. By searching online I found a service that created the necessary filing information for the USPTO for $50. Going directly to their web page would have cost $100. So here competition does give a lower cost. I suspect that if I had studied the web page of the USPTO I could have done the filing myself and saved even the $50. Something to investigate in the future.
To start the trademark process at the USPTO cost $275 and required creating an account. So in total it cost me $325 for the initial application.

After about three weeks I received an offer in the mail to publish my submitted trademark from an obscure business that had no connection to the USPTO. The business "WTP SERVICE, BPM 326634, 8345 NW 66 ST #2000, Miami, FL 33166" was offering a contract to publish my submitted trademark for $1380 in their private database www.wtp-register.com. They must have enough people fall for this scam to make it profitable.
