The USPTO has published trademark application TM99716948 for the mark 'MAKOTO TEK'. This publication signifies that the application has passed initial examination and is now open for a period of opposition by third parties who may believe the mark infringes on their existing rights. The services covered include consultancy and information services related to IT architecture and infrastructure, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.

While this is a trademark publication and not a regulatory rule, businesses operating in the technology and cybersecurity sectors should be aware of new marks entering the marketplace. Companies with similar marks or services should monitor the opposition period, which typically lasts 30 days from the publication date, to determine if any action is necessary to protect their own intellectual property rights.
