我们与2016年4月份自注册美国商标，现在已经通过了公示期。在2017年3月份收到商标局律师的来信，说要求提供此产品图片。然而我们提交产品图片后，又回复我们说需要提供一份使用声明！目前我们不清楚是份什么样的声明？
下列为律师来信内容：

Hello,

Thank you for contacting LegalForce Trademarkia.

If your trademark application status is “Notice of Allowance Issued” then you will need to submit a statement of use to the UPTO. A Notice of Allowance Status only applies to intent-to-use applications, meaning that they were originally filed without proof of use in commerce. The application has passed both the USPTO’s internal review and the opposition period. In other words, the application is ready to register and only requires an acceptable Statement of Use to be submitted. A Statement of Use is a separate filing with the USPTO providing proof that you are using the mark in commerce. Once the Statement of Use is submitted and accepted by the USPTO, the application should register in due course.

Cost and Services

Trademarkia can assist you in the filing of Statement of Use paperwork or an Extension. If you are ready to file, the United States Patent and Trademark Office fee is $100 per application, per category and the law firm in Trademarkia’s network has a fee of $379 per application, per category for the preparation of the paperwork. The total for Statement of Use filing would be $479 per application. The USPTO’s fee to file an Extension is $150 per application, per category and the law firm’s fee is $379 per application, per category; for a total of $529 per application, per category.

You can reply to this email if you have any query or if you wish to use our services.

Best Regards,

Shreejith

这个压根就不是商标局的邮件，只是来路不明的代理，你注册的时候没有看说明吗
