TRADEMARKS ON CALL, INC - Privacy Policy

By using Trademarks On Call, Inc (hereinafter "TOC"), its website TrademarksOnCall.com or other TOC online properties, you agree to follow and be bound by this Privacy Policy. You further agree that TOC may modify this Privacy Policy at any time by making such changes to this page. Accordingly, it is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Trademark and Patent Data

TOC obtains its United States trademark and patent data from information made public by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Once information is submitted to the USPTO during the filing of a trademark or patent application, this information is made public by the USPTO. This information is not confidential. All information may be inspected by the public. Because TOC regularly updates its trademark and patent data from information made public by the USPTO, any data submission or data change with the USPTO will eventually be reflected on our website. We recommend making any desired data change with the USPTO.

Personally Identifiable Information

Information submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office during the filing of a trademark or patent application is made public. Such information includes Personally Identifiable Information. For example, the applicant name, address and email address is made public by the USPTO once a trademark application is filed. In addition, once a trademark application is registered by the USPTO, the registrant name, address and email address is made public. Because TOC regularly updates its patent and trademark data from information made public by the USPTO, TOC collects this Personally Identifiable Information.

TOC requires each visitor to provide certain Personally Identifiable Information in order to access, use and/or purchase the services and products made available by TOC and its website. This Personally Identifiable Information includes: a) personal information such as name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number and email address, (b) financial information such as credit card information including credit card number, and (c) legal information including information regarding your patent(s) or trademark(s), for example trademark name, trademark serial number, trademark filing date and mailing information. TOC uses such Personally Identifiable Information to provide or complete the services or products you access, use and/or purchase through TOC and its website.
