⚖️ Answer:
Trademark infringement is serious business—but there’s a clear process to follow. π
Step 1: Check Your Trademark π§
Ensure your trademark is registered with the Trademark Registry. If it's a common name or logo, you might have limited protection. π
Step 2: Gather Evidence πΈ
Collect evidence of infringement (advertisements, products, online listings) to prove that your trademark is being used without authorization. π
Step 3: Send a Cease-and-Desist Letter π
Before rushing to court, it’s common to send a cease-and-desist letter. This letter formally asks the infringer to stop using your trademark and resolve the matter. π
Step 4: File a Trademark Infringement Lawsuit π️
If the infringement continues, you can file a lawsuit for trademark infringement under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Courts may grant:
-
Injunction (stop use)
-
Monetary compensation πΈ
-
Damages for loss of business/reputation
