What is Infringement?

Infringement occurs when an unauthorized party uses your registered trademark (or a deceptively similar mark) in the course of trade, causing confusion among consumers. This is a civil offense that requires immediate legal intervention.

If you have received a legal notice, you have a limited time to respond. Ignoring it is highly risky and can be detrimental to your defense.

Key Legal Actions

If You are the Owner (Taking Action):


  • Issue Cease & Desist Letter
    Formal legal warning to stop misuse.
  • File Suit for Injunction
    Seeking a court order to immediately stop the infringement.

We research the extent of misuse, gathering evidence like invoices, website screenshots, and market evidence.

Filing suits for permanent injunction and monetary damages in the High Court if the notice is ignored.

To send a strong Cease & Desist letter, it is highly recommended to have a registered trademark (®). While common law rights exist, only a registered mark allows you to file a suit for infringement.
