What Should I Do if My Business Faces a Trademark Dispute? โ๏ธ๐ฅ
โSir, my competitor has started using a very similar logo, and I think itโs confusing our customers! What should I do if this turns into a trademark dispute?โ ๐ค๐
Trademark disputes are no joke โ but donโt worry, youโve got options! Itโs like a game of chess: every move counts to protect your brand. ๐ Letโs break it down so you can make your move. โ๏ธ
๐ Short Answer:
If youโre facing a trademark dispute, the first step is to analyse the situation. Is the infringement intentional or accidental? Once you have clarity, you can contact the other party directly, or take it to legal authorities for a formal resolution. ๐ก๏ธ

๐ How to Handle a Trademark Dispute:
โ
Confirm the Infringement: Check if the competitorโs logo really violates your trademark, and how much the usage is similar. ๐ง
โ
Try a Friendly Approach: Before jumping into court, itโs always worth sending a cease-and-desist letter. ๐ซ๐
โ
Mediation or Negotiation: Sometimes, both parties can reach an agreement through mediation to resolve the issue without going to court. ๐ฌ
โ
Legal Action: If informal methods fail, you can file a case with the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) or go to the court to enforce your trademark rights. โ๏ธ

โ๏ธ What Are the Potential Outcomes of a Trademark Dispute?
Injunction: The court can issue an order to stop the infringing party from using your trademark. ๐ซ
Damages: You might receive compensation for the unauthorized use of your trademark. ๐ฐ
Reputation Protection: Protecting your trademark ensures your brand maintains its uniqueness and consumer recognition. ๐
๐ก Pro Tip: If youโre in the early stages of a dispute, itโs easier to settle outside court than once itโs escalated. ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ
