On August 6, 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) imposed penalties on an overseas agency and terminated more than 52,000 trademark applications and registrations related to the company.
The agency submitted documents on behalf of others without proper authorization or qualifications. To conceal this activity, they employed the following tactics:
- Seeking the cooperation of licensed U.S. attorneys, then abusing their credentials and forging their electronic signatures
- Signing documents in the name of another person multiple times
- Submitting false usage samples
- Abuse of USPTO.gov Accounts
The USPTO's decisive action against overseas agencies is a significant contribution to the global trademark registration environment. This move not only maintains the credibility of trademark registration but also serves as a reminder to businesses to select qualified and compliant agencies when applying for trademarks to avoid potential exposure to illegal activity.
