Who Can Use Trademark Infringement Support?

Trademark infringement support may be useful for individuals and organisations seeking assistance with suspected unauthorised use of their brand identity or trademark rights.

Individuals and businesses holding registered trademarks who suspect unauthorised use of their protected marks.

Businesses & Brand Owners

Trademark Applicants & Rights Holders

Applicants and other parties claiming relevant trademark rights who need assistance reviewing possible infringement concerns.

Trademark infringement is assessed based on applicable law and the specific facts of each matter. A registered trademark generally provides statutory rights under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The availability of remedies and appropriate legal action depends on ownership, the nature of use, relevant goods or services and other circumstances. A pending application does not provide the same statutory infringement remedy as a registered trademark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about trademark infringement, brand protection, legal notices, evidence and available remedies.

Trademark infringement generally involves unauthorised use of a registered trademark or a deceptively similar mark in a manner that violates the rights of the registered proprietor under applicable trademark law. The specific circumstances and statutory requirements determine whether infringement has occurred.

You should preserve relevant evidence, collect details of the suspected use, verify your trademark ownership and seek appropriate legal assessment. Depending on the circumstances, possible steps may include sending a legal notice or initiating suitable legal proceedings.

Possible action depends on factors such as similarity between the marks, the relevant goods or services, likelihood of confusion and the legal rights involved. A proper review is necessary before determining the appropriate remedy.

Under Section 27(1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, infringement proceedings are not available for an unregistered trademark. However, Section 27(2) preserves the common-law remedy of passing off, subject to the applicable legal requirements.

A cease-and-desist notice is a formal communication requesting another party to stop an alleged infringing activity. It generally explains the rights claimed, the suspected misuse and the action requested from the recipient.

Relevant evidence may include trademark registration documents, product photographs, website screenshots, advertisements, invoices, purchase records and other materials showing the suspected unauthorised use.

Yes, appropriate action may be available where a trademark is allegedly misused through websites, social media accounts, online marketplaces or digital advertisements. Available options may include platform reporting mechanisms and legal remedies, depending on the facts.

Depending on the case, remedies may include injunctions, damages, account of profits, delivery-up or other relief available under applicable law. The appropriate remedy depends on the facts and evidence.

The duration depends on the complexity of the dispute, evidence, court schedule, responses from the parties and whether the matter is resolved through settlement or litigation. No fixed timeline can be guaranteed.

The cost depends on the nature of the infringement, complexity of the matter, evidence review, legal notice requirements and whether further proceedings are needed. Contact us for a case-specific quotation.
