So, the attorney (supposition here), represented his client (and charged his client)
a fee to represent and bid in an auction
charged the client fees for filing trademarks
and charged for represention before the panel
incredible.
If all that is true, then the attorney knowingly filed for TM's after the fact but somehow convinced the claimant that they had a case? Believing that no one would catch on to the dates of usage, registration, filing, etc?
I am not bashing attorneys but bashing the gullible client for buying the whole shabang.
