Court Enforcement Against Unauthorized Trademark Use

A trademark is a commercial asset whose protection should be planned before, during and after the filing process. Unauthorized use of a protected mark may justify cessation and damages depending on the right and proven acts.

What to keep in mind

Preserve evidence of advertising, sales, domains, social media and actual commercialization, then evaluate demands, negotiation and litigation.

Alleging infringement without verifying ownership and scope can create unnecessary costs and disputes.

Distinctions often confused

Commercial resemblance alone does not always establish infringement; rights and confusion must be analyzed.

Frequently asked questions

Can another company be required to stop using a similar sign?
That depends on the protected rights and circumstances of use.
Can damages be claimed as well as an injunction?
Where legally available, the loss and legal basis must be established.
