Trademark Infringement
Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attaching to a trademark. This situation arises when the trademark is used by a third party without the authorization of the trademark owner. Infringement may occur when one party, the "infringer", uses a trademark that is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services that are identical or similar to the products or services the registration covers. While claims under the Lanham Act may initially focus on securing injunctive relief, monetary relief may also be available in the form of:
- Disgorgement of Defendant's profits;
- Damages sustained by the plaintiff (lost profits or reasonable royalties);
- Loss in business or trademark value;
- Corrective advertising; and/or,
- The costs of the action.
