Scammers. Smith & Johnson IP Law is widely flagged as a fraudulent trademark scam website. Multiple independent investigations, including alerts from Trademark Express and legal analysts, confirm that this operation uses high-pressure tactics to defraud business owners.

I got the same text today!

This is a scam. They sent me a text message to tell me my Registered Trademark business name "is registered, but the logo is unprotected." This is false. My trademark registration is current, and my logo is registered with the US Copyright Office. Do not respond to these text messages.

This is a scam operation. 'Christopher Whitmore' texted me and claimed someone is filing for logo rights on my existing trademark. Lying scum - they should be shutdown by the feds.

Christopher sent a text to me one day after we renewed our Trademark and tried ro convince me to hire them to file a trademark on our logo. when I said no, he threatened me that his client was going to file a logo trademark that we use in our company and then send a formal cease disist the use of our trademarked name on all platforms such - social media, websites, e-commerce, web domains, etc.

I just want to piggy back on the other 1 star reviews and thank them. I received a text (not a call) saying my logo was at risk, very generic info. When I visited the actual USPTO site, there was no status indicating the text was for real. Not to mention, I have an older company with the same logo with no issues. If anyone is concerned, find an attorney on your own that can assist. This seems like an overall phishing scam.

This company is fake, as described by other reviews. I called "Eric Smith" from an email claiming to represent the USPTO. He said my Trademark request had been abandoned and I needed to call Smith & Johnson IP Law right away. I called within two minutes and THE SAME PERSON ANSWERED THE PHONE!!! This is a poorly organized scam!
