Conflict of Interest Check

Prior to providing any legal services to soliciting users, we are required to conduct a conflict of interest check in order to conform to any applicable bar rules and/or regulations. In the event that a conflict of interest exists, we are required to notify the applicable users. Where a conflict of interest cannot be resolved in conformance with applicable bar rules and/or regulations, we will refund the user for any fees paid in anticipation of legal services rendered.

Payment of Fees

To best protect your interests and for your benefit, you understand that money charged through Trademarkia.com for legal services is deposited into an IOLTA trust account until fees are earned per the terms and conditions of a particular service that you elect. All applications for the registration of a trademark in the United States are managed by the Firm after a successful conflict check performed to best protect your interests.
