Trademark infringement refers to the act of infringing the exclusive right to use a trademark that is identical or similar to the registered trademark of another person on the same or similar goods without the permission of the trademark registrant. Trademark infringement is an illegal act, which will not only bring economic losses to trademark registrants, but also undermine the order of market competition and harm the interests of consumers.
The brand sues for trademark infringement and collects evidence:
When a brand discovers that someone has infringed on its exclusive right to use a trademark, it can file a lawsuit with the court. During the litigation process, the brand owner needs to provide the following evidence:
1.Trademark registration certificate: It proves that the brand owner is the legal registrant of the trademark and has the exclusive right to use the trademark.
2.Evidence of infringement: such as sales contracts, invoices, shipping documents, etc., to prove the existence of infringement.
3.Evidence of damages: such as sales data, market share, etc., to prove the economic losses caused by the infringement to the brand.
4.Other relevant evidence: such as consumer complaints, ** reports, etc., to prove the damage to the brand image and consumer interests caused by the infringement.
Court Litigation Risk**:
In trademark infringement cases, the brand owner can apply to the court for protective measures, such as prohibiting the sale of infringing products and destroying the infringing logo. If the court finds that the infringement is established, it may order the infringing party to bear the corresponding civil liability, such as compensation for economic losses, public apology, etc. If the infringement is serious, criminal liability may also be pursued.
Anti-counterfeiting company risk ** mode:
Enterprises entrust intellectual property anti-counterfeiting companies to fight counterfeiting, without charging any fees, advance the upfront costs needed to protect rights, and the enterprise sits and waits for the benefits, and at the same time the compensation is shared, as well as the effect of advertising infringement off the shelves!
In short, trademark infringement is an illegal act, which will not only bring economic losses to trademark registrants, but also undermine the order of market competition and harm the interests of consumers. Therefore, brands should actively protect their exclusive right to use trademarks, crack down on infringements, and maintain the order of fair competition in the market.
