How do I enforce my trademark against infringers?

  • How do I enforce my trademark against infringers?

    If someone is infringing your trademark, there are steps you can take to enforce your rights. The first step is to send a cease and desist letter to the infringing party, demanding that they stop using your trademark. If you need assistance in drafting a cease and desist letter, you can choose to have the Firm send one on your behalf by going here.

    If the infringer does not comply with your cease and desist letter and continues to infringe on your trademark, you have the option to file a lawsuit against them for trademark infringement. If your trademark is federally registered, you can sue the infringer in federal court or initiate a proceeding before the TTAB. In a trademark infringement lawsuit, the court may grant injunctive relief, which would legally prevent the infringing party from using your trademark. Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, you may also seek monetary damages, such as the infringer’s profits or your lost profits.
