| Tons of Toner.com Granted Trademark Status |
|
INDIANAPOLIS, IN., March 3, 2010 -- Tons of Toner is pleased to announce it has been granted trademark status. The designation will help protect the company and its customers from companies using the Tons of Toner name to divert website traffic from the legitimate Tons of Toner website to other fraudulent landing pages. Founder David Jones says he is pleased the two-year process is complete and hopeful it will dissuade others from using the Tons of Toner name. "It has been, and will continue to be, an ongoing process but having trademark status will allow us to take legal action against anyone using the Tons of Toner name to mislead our customers," he said. "It's a hugely empowering step and one I highly recommend other businesses take." Jones said it's not uncommon for companies to set up a landing page stuffed with keywords in an attempt to divert traffic from the authentic tonsoftoner.com site because of its popularity and ranking. Google and other search engines will act on trademark infringement complaints but only if a company has trademark status. "We've spent years building a company recognized for outstanding customer service and products and it is reassuring to know that with trademark status I can approach Google and other search engines and know they will take my concerns about trademark infringement seriously," said Jones.
