Trademark Litigation

As a business owner, your trademark represents your company’s reputation and good will, and may be one of your most valuable assets. When a competitor wrongfully uses an imitation of your mark or one that is likely to be confused with your mark, you will want a skilled and experienced trademark litigation attorney on your side.

Conversely, if you have spent time, money and effort properly to create a distinctive brand identity for your goods or services, you will also want a skilled trademark litigation lawyer to defend you against wrongful accusations of infringement.

Trademark Infringement Lawyers

A variety of issues can arise in a trademark dispute. Typically, the key issue is whether there is a likelihood of confusion between two competing trademarks. There are a number of factors that influence the court’s decision on this issue, and a proper analysis and presentation of evidence is vital to success. Other issues might arise from, for example, the use of a trademark in a form other than registered, or from the alleged “fair use” or non-commercial use of a mark. With the continuing rise of the Internet, there are increasing numbers of disputes involving domain names.
