In recent years, owners of registered trade marks (and to a lesser extent patents and designs) have increasingly received unsolicited letters from third-party companies about renewal fees. The most frequent sender is Stern, Young & Partners, though others exist. These letters typically quote inflated costs and urge prompt payment to maintain the IP right.
We include warnings in many of our communications, but please stay vigilant and alert relevant staff. All genuine correspondence about your trade mark, patent, or design—including renewal reminders—will come exclusively from Dolleymores.
