I got a logo created for personal use about 4 years ago. i decided to not apply for copyrights or trademarks as the image was not going to be utilized anywhere. My theory is that the company themselves got hacked and they are using the information they had on file to scam us. I am getting harassed by the same person mentioned below. not only are they just annoying but the person is rude. The whole thing felt fishy so i pushed back and they sent me some BS contract that had no signature or even my last name. Any legal contract needs a first and last name at minimum. So that was odd and when i called to speak to Robert he sent me his paralegal. it went nowhere and i kept pushing back. they asked me for $$1499 to close the IP ( not small fee). mind you, it was never opened to be closed. the more questions i asked the more nasty he was. They are trying to scare us into paying and they are relentless. Do not pay them a dime. Also. i'm no lawyer but i don't think texting is a valid legal way to have these conversations. i will be surprised if i ever receive any legal documentation in this regard. May the odds be in your favor.
