USPTO Seeks ‘Serious Sanctions’ For Chinese Co.’s 19K Apps

By Editorial Team

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has taken a firm stance against a China-based company for submitting over 19,000 trademark applications using the names of U.S.-licensed attorneys without their review. The USPTO has deemed these actions as warranting “the most serious sanctions” due to the questionable nature of the submissions, some of which were filed in intervals as short as three minutes.

The USPTO’s move to seek severe penalties against the Chinese company highlights the importance of upholding ethical standards and ensuring the integrity of the trademark registration process.
