Trademark Litigation
Trademark litigation is an important concern if someone has infringed on your intellectual property. Trademark law is a complex field, so it is essential to have an experienced professional to help you identify your options and the best course of action. Stanton IP Law Firm is a Florida trademark litigation firm that can help you protect your rights and find the best strategy.
What is Trademark Infringement?
Your business may have trademarks for intellectual property such as a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies products or services from and distinguishes them from others. Trademarks are crucial for building your brand and differentiating yourself from the competition. However, you may find that another individual or business is infringing on your trademark. Trademark infringement is any case where someone else uses your trademarked property without permission. This is not always as straightforward as it may seem. For example, someone may use a logo that’s very similar but not exactly like yours. If you suspect infringement, it’s best to consult with a trademark attorney for advice.
Trademark infringement can take many forms. Someone may outright steal your intellectual property (IP), such as by using your logo or a trademarked phrase. In some cases, they may do it unintentionally. Whether deliberate or accidental, you need to protect your rights. This is common on the internet, where a website might use an image without permission. In a case like this, you can contact the website owner (or whoever is violating your trademark) and ask them to stop using your property. If this isn’t effective, your best course of action is to contact an attorney.

“In my opinion, all previous advances in the various lines of invention will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the wonders which are at the threshold.”
