Class 46 - for your European trade mark news

Now in its sixth year, Class 46 is dedicated to European trade mark law and practice. This weblog is written by a team of enthusiasts who want to spread the word and share their thoughts with others.


	TUESDAY, 5 MAY 2009 CTM filing alert Class 46 thanks Shireen Smith (Azrights) for sending in this example of an unsolicited pro-forma invoice for £573.40, inclusive of VAT, submitted to an unsuspecting UK trade mark applicant in the hope of squeezing some money from him by preparing an application for a Community trade mark. The business issuing the invoice calls itself 'Community Trade Mark Filing Service' and gives an address in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Its website is here and you can form your own opinion of it.
