Katrina Marie

Very professional. After encountering a trademark issue, I needed some legal advice and time was of the essence. At the very beginning of our conversation, Katrina took the time to understand my situation and to explain the strategies available. Then, she helped me quickly identify and protect anothe...r trademark for my new product. Best of all, she kept me well-informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Katrina Marie.

I hired Katrina to help with a ™ renewal office action. For some reason she was unable to see the images I emailed her at first, seems like she did not look past the first page of my emails, but I finally got all the images and links to her by splitting it into different emails. She did the submiss...ion (in my name) but did not submit all the items requested by the examiner (and provided to her by me), so I received another office action and now I need to supply images of every single item listed. I emailed her several days ago and got no response, so I had to hire a different attorney to help me get the job done, very disappointed.

So. When you file a trademark with the USPTO, you get a barrage of emails from Trademark attorneys basically non-stop. I wasn’t even considering HIRING a Trademark attorney, as i had a good understanding of the system, but rather than risk having it bumped back to the point where it would need to be... refiled i decided to hire Katrina. She stated she would handle ALL USPTO office action responses for a flat fee of $250, and with her story of being a disabled mother and working from home, i thought the money was better spent towards her services. Come to find out, she failed to do ANY of the responses required, she filed one form but didn’t attach her name as the attorney for the application nor did she update the mailing address which was ONE of the main reasons it was bumped back. I emailed her repeatedly over the span of weeks, and she failed to get back to me in an appropriate amount of time. Once she DID get back to me, after I had already checked myself on the USPTO site, i pointed out to her the 2 MAJOR issues that 1) she seemed to be aware of and 2) blatantly ignored. When i asked her to please fix her mistake as the USPTO had issued a SECONDARY warning that the same two issues had not been fixed. Despite her assuring me she had. When i mentioned this to her, she immediately became hostile and demanded another $250 payment as she had ‘already completed the job.’ I’m unsure how you can ‘complete a job’ as a TRADEMARK ATTORNEY when the TRADEMARK hasn’t been fully approved due to her lack of updating the information appropriately. She basically risked a Trademark that i have been actively working on and putting money into for nearly 3 years. Not only did she not do her job, but she proceeded to be extremely rude when i pointed out that she had not completed the job i had already paid for, and to demand another ‘flat fee payment’ of $250 otherwise id be ‘asking her to work for free’ is INSANITY to me. That’s a hardcore money grab to not even complete the first job she was hired for, which she failed to do completely. She then reached out to me AGAIN (today 10-23-2024) to offer her services, again reiterating her ‘flat fee of $250’ and her story that clearly is her go -to method to get clients. Maybe she should do her job the first time around and/or update her mailing list? She was rude not just the first time around, but also the second. If she reaches out to you RUN!!!
