Trademark Infringement Notice
- Trademark infringement occurs when an unauthorized party uses a mark identical or deceptively similar to your registered trademark, causing consumer confusion and harming brand integrity.
- A legal notice serves as the initial formal step to demand cessation of such unauthorized use and assert your rights under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. At TMZON, we provide expert assistance in drafting and delivering these notices to protect your intellectual property.
Types of Trademark Infringement
- Direct Infringement: Unauthorized use of an identical/similar mark for identical goods/services, leading to consumer confusion.
- Indirect Infringement: Includes vicarious liability (benefiting from infringement) or contributory infringement (aiding the infringer knowingly).
Legal Grounds for Infringement
- Section 29 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, defines infringement as:
- Use of identical/similar marks for identical goods/services.
- Exploitation of a registered trademark’s reputation unfairly.
- Unauthorized use in advertising, packaging, or labeling.
When to Issue a Trademark Notice
- Unauthorized commercial use of your trademark.
- Use of a mark confusingly similar to yours for competing goods/services.
- Substantial replication of your trademark’s key elements.

Some common questions
were often asked
What is a trademark infringement notice, and why is it issued?
A trademark infringement notice is a legal document sent by a trademark owner to an individual or entity allegedly using their registered trademark without permission. It is issued to stop unauthorized use and protect the owner's rights.
What should I do if I receive a trademark infringement notice?
If you receive a trademark infringement notice, you should carefully review the claims, consult a trademark attorney, and respond within the specified timeframe. Ignoring the notice can lead to legal action.
Can I challenge a trademark infringement notice?
Yes, you can challenge the notice if you believe the claims are invalid. You may argue that your use does not infringe on the trademark, the trademark is not valid, or your use falls under fair use or other legal exceptions.
What are the consequences of ignoring a trademark infringement notice?
Ignoring a trademark infringement notice can lead to a lawsuit, where the court may issue an injunction, award damages to the trademark owner, or order you to stop using the trademark immediately.
How can I avoid receiving a trademark infringement notice?
To avoid receiving a trademark infringement notice, conduct a thorough trademark search before using a mark, ensure your mark is distinct, and avoid using marks that are identical or similar to registered trademarks.
Can a trademark infringement notice be resolved without going to court?
Yes, many trademark disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or settlement agreements without going to court. This can save time and legal expenses for both parties.
