We act against unauthorized use of your trademark, including legal action when the situation requires it.
Defend your trademark against unauthorized use
We act against anyone using your trademark without authorization, from an out-of-court demand to legal action, depending on what the case requires.
Unauthorized use of a trademark can happen in many ways: a competitor using an identical or similar sign for similar goods or services, counterfeits, a former distributor or licensee who keeps using the trademark after the commercial relationship has ended, or a third party using it on social media or domains to take advantage of your reputation. In every case, the first step is gathering evidence of the improper use to evaluate the best strategy.
We generally start with a formal demand letter or out-of-court notice, which usually resolves most cases without needing to go to court. When this isn't enough, we move forward with the legal action that applies under the Trademark Law: from a civil claim to stop the use and seek damages, to a criminal complaint in cases of counterfeiting, including interim measures such as the seizure of infringing goods.
We identify and document unauthorized uses of your trademark to build the case.
