I wanted to trademark a phrase so I looked around and found Trademark Engine.The website wasn't user friendly in my opinion but I finally got it registered for review. I signed on for the "Basic Package" because I didn't want all the add-ons, I just wanted to register my phrase. Well that's when the $#*! hit the fan. Unknowing to me is that when you sign up for the "Basic Package" THEY AUTOMATICALLY SIGN YOU UP FOR TRADEMARK PROTECTION. I didn't want it and didn't know I GOT SIGNED UP FOR IT. I missed the first billing to my credit card of $99 dillars for 3 months. Well I caught the 2nd billing and called them to cancell it and said I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR IT! I was told it is automatically added and UNLESS YOU CANCELL IT IN 30 DAYS YOU OWN IT. I told them I would accept the 1st one because I missed but I wanted a refund for this 2nd charge of $99 dollars. THEY FLAT OUT SAID NO REFUNDS.I asked to speak with a supervior and you guess it they WE'RE ALL BUSY. They told the operater they would call me back, NEVER HAPPENED. THIS UNSCRUPULOUS ACT OF SIGNING PEOPLE UP FOR $#*! THEY DON'T WANT AND THEN RELEYING ON THE CUSTOMER TO CANCELL IT IN 30 DAYS IS WRONG. It's bad for business. Still waiting for my refund...
Hidden enrollment policy automatically signs you up for trademark protection you never signed up for and you have to cancell it with in 30 days or they start charging you $99 dollars every 3 months with no REFUNDS. DO NOT USE THEM.
