Trademark Litigation
Identical -- Confusingly Similar -- Infringement
Domestic -- Foreign
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device which is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. A servicemark is the same as a trademark except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product.
Do you own a registered trademark or service-mark?
Is someone or entity using your trademark to promote or sell their goods or services without your permission?
If you have a trademark/servicemark registered by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and you believe that someone or entity is using a mark that is identical or confusingly similar on or in relation to goods or services similar to yours, you may have a trademark infringement lawsuit.
When someone uses a mark so similar to another’s mark for the same or closely related goods or services that confusion, mistake or deception is likely to occur.
Courts protect marks against infringement and may issue injunctions, compensate the owner for damages, take away the infringer’s profits, award attorney’s fees, and even order goods to be seized or recalled from the market and destroyed.
Some jurisdictions also offer criminal remedies.
