John J. Cunniff

Hahn Loeser Attorney John Cunniff warns patent, trademark and copyright owners that scammers are trying to create a false sense of urgency with phone calls so that recipients act without close examination. Scams include using “spoofed” caller IDs that indicate the caller is from the Patent and Trademark Office or illegitimate threats of litigation for copyright infringement.
