More about Trademark Infringement Legal Notice & Defense
What is Infringement?
Infringement occurs when an unauthorized party uses your registered trademark (or a deceptively similar mark) in the course of trade, causing confusion among consumers. This is a civil offense that requires immediate legal intervention.
If you have received a legal notice, you have a limited time to respond. Ignoring it is highly risky and can be detrimental to your defense.
Key Legal Actions
If You are the Owner (Taking Action):
- Issue Cease & Desist Letter
- Formal legal warning to stop misuse.
- File Suit for Injunction
- Seeking a court order to immediately stop the infringement.
If You Receive a Notice (Defense)
Do not ignore it. Immediate defense is vital:
- Stop Use Immediately
- Halt all usage of the disputed mark.
- Check Deadline
- The notice requires a reply within 7-15 days.
- File Legal Reply
- We draft a formal reply denying infringement or establishing prior use.
- Alternative Dispute
- We negotiate for a co-existence agreement or non-use affidavit.

Questions
Frequently asked
Something else on your mind? Call the office - it is always the same number.
How much are the damages in an infringement suit?
Damages can vary significantly. Courts often award either actual loss of profit suffered by the owner or damages decided by the court for continued misuse after the legal notice.
Is trademark registration required to send a legal notice?
To send a strong Cease & Desist letter, it is highly recommended to have a registered trademark (®). While common law rights exist, only a registered mark allows you to file a suit for infringement.
Can I file an infringement suit in any city?
No. You can file the suit where the defendant resides/conducts business OR where the infringement occurred OR where the Plaintiff (Owner) carries out business.
