What is trademark infringement?

As a trademark registration lawyer, I often come across business owners who are unsure of what constitutes trademark infringement. In this blog post, I'll share with you what trademark infringement is and how you can protect your business from it.

Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a mark that is identical or similar to a registered trademark in a way that is likely to cause confusion or deceive consumers. This can include using a similar mark on goods or services that are related to the registered mark, using the registered mark in advertising, or using a similar mark in a way that implies a connection to the registered mark.

Trademark infringement can have serious consequences for your business. It can dilute the distinctiveness of your brand, confuse your customers, and damage your reputation. It can also result in legal action against your business, including cease and desist orders, damages, and legal fees.

To protect your business from trademark infringement, you should first conduct a comprehensive search to ensure that your mark is available for registration. Once your mark is registered, you should monitor the market for any potential infringers and take action to enforce your trademark rights if necessary.

If you suspect that someone is infringing on your trademark, it's important to take swift action. This can include sending a cease and desist letter, pursuing legal action, or negotiating a settlement.
