Trademark Infringement

Intellectual Property - Trademark Infringement

Definition:

Trademark infringement is the violation of the rights a person has to a trademark by using the trademark without authorization. Trademark infringement may occur when one party uses a trademark that is either identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owner by another party.

Consequences of Trademark Infringement:

Since trademarks distinguish a company from its competition, it is important to protect a trademark against trademark infringement. To successfully prove there has been trademark infringement, a trademark owner must prove that another party has used a similar trademark without getting consent and has been selling the good or service under that name. A trademark owner also needs to prove that the similar mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception among consumers.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

If you are a trademark owner and suspect trademark infringement, a trademark infringement lawyer can advise you. A lawyer can provide you with a "cease and desist" letter and help you seek temporary injunctive relief before litigation. A trademark infringement lawyer may be able to stop the infringement just by sending a violator written notice.
