`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.(cid:160) These companies often use names that

`
`“fees.” (cid:160)(cid:160)

`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.(cid:160) All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” (cid:160) For more information on how to handle
