Frequently Asked Questions

Illegal use of trademarks, also known as trademark infringement, occurs when someone uses a trademark or a similar mark without the permission of the trademark owner, in a way that is likely to cause confusion among consumers about the source of goods or services.

This can include using a protected trademark on counterfeit goods, applying a similar logo or name to mislead customers, or diluting a famous trademark's distinctiveness.

Infringement can also occur in online contexts, such as using another's trademark in domain names, social media handles, or online advertisements without authorization.

These actions can mislead consumers, harm the trademark owner's reputation, and result in legal consequences, including injunctions, damages, and penalties.
