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

`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document

`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
