Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about IP infringement, enforcement notices, evidence collection, legal remedies and protection of intellectual property rights in India.

Intellectual property infringement generally refers to the unauthorised use, reproduction, exploitation or commercial dealing with protected intellectual property rights in a manner prohibited by applicable law. It may involve trademarks, copyrighted works, patented inventions or registered designs.

Preserve evidence of the suspected use, collect relevant product or service details and review your trademark registration and ownership records. The available options may include a legal notice, negotiation or appropriate court proceedings. The correct approach depends on the facts and applicable rights.

Yes, where the unauthorised activity amounts to copyright infringement under applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, remedies may include an injunction, damages, accounts of profits and other legally available relief. Relevant ownership and infringement evidence should be preserved.

A cease-and-desist notice is a formal communication requesting a person or organisation to stop an alleged unlawful or infringing activity. It generally identifies the claimed rights, describes the alleged conduct and sets out the action requested by the rights holder. It does not itself constitute a court order.

Under Section 27(1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, an infringement action is not available for an unregistered trademark. However, Section 27(2) preserves the right to bring a passing-off action where the facts and legal requirements support it. Evidence of prior use and goodwill may be relevant.

Evidence may include registration certificates, original work files, screenshots, online listings, product samples, invoices, dated records, communications and technical or expert material. The relevant evidence depends on the type of intellectual property and alleged infringement.

Depending on the IP category and applicable legislation, remedies may include interim or permanent injunctions, damages, accounts of profits, delivery-up or destruction of infringing goods and other relief permitted by law. Certain laws also provide criminal remedies in specified circumstances.

Potential options may include preserving online evidence, submitting a complaint through the platform's applicable intellectual property reporting process and considering legal action against the responsible parties. The appropriate route depends on the rights involved, evidence and platform procedures.

A cease-and-desist notice may be useful in certain disputes, but it is not a universal prerequisite for every IP infringement action. Whether to send a notice first depends on the legal position, urgency, evidence and enforcement strategy. A qualified advocate should assess the appropriate course of action.

No. The outcome depends on the available evidence, ownership rights, applicable law, response of the other party and decisions of the competent court or authority. Our service focuses on assessment, documentation and enforcement assistance and does not guarantee a particular legal outcome.
