Protecting Your Brand
We address trademark infringement effectively with our comprehensive litigation services.
The Trademark Litigation Process
Trademark infringement poses a significant threat to your brand’s integrity and value. At Nowa Trademarks, we offer comprehensive litigation services to address instances of trademark infringement effectively.
Here’s how we can help:
Understanding Trademark Infringement
Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a trademark identical or confusingly similar to yours without permission. This usage can harm your brand’s reputation and lead to financial losses.
Combatting Trademark Infringement
When infringement is detected, prompt action is vital. Our attorneys will analyse the situation and devise a strategic plan.
Cease and Desist Letters
We’ll send a formal cease and desist letter demanding immediate cessation of infringing activities. Our attorneys will draft a robust legal notice to assert your rights.
Negotiation and Settlement
You can resolve many disputes through negotiation. Our team will seek a fair resolution, possibly involving licensing agreements or compensation.
Litigation Proceedings
If negotiations fail, we’re prepared to initiate litigation. Our litigators will fight to enforce your trademarks in court, pursuing injunctive relief and damages.
Repercussions for the At-Fault Party
Once the trademark transfer is successfully registered, we provide both parties with confirmation of the ownership change and relevant documentation. This step serves as proof of the transfer and ensures compliance with trademark regulations.
- Injunctive Relief: Court orders to immediately cease infringing activities.
- Compensatory Damages: Monetary compensation for losses incurred by the trademark owner.
- Legal Costs: Responsibility for covering legal expenses and court fees.
- Reputational Damage: Potential harm to the infringing party's reputation.
- Royalty Payments: Possible requirement to pay royalties to the trademark owner based on sales revenue from infringing products.
