Frequently Asked Questions

A case is considered an example of trademark violation when it involves the unauthorized use of a trademark, leading to confusion among consumers or harming the brand's reputation. 

It may also take advantage of the trademark for financial benefits or associate it with inferior products, which would harm the trademark's value and identity.

What is a trademark violation?

• Consumer confusion: The trademark may be misused in such a way that it causes consumer confusion as if the products or services of the infringer are somehow related to the original. For example, a shoe company using a logo that is similar to Adidas could confuse consumers that the products are related.

• Brand damage: This occurs when you infringe on a trademark by selling inferior or unrelated goods. This dilutes the reputation of the original brand and reduces its value.

• Commercial exploitation: Counterfeit products directly infringes upon a trademark owner's rights.

Trademark infringement weakens a brand, making the customers lose confidence in that brand, and can also lead to losses for the owner. Identifying and fighting such cases is necessary to maintain the brand's integrity.
