TRADE MARK INFRINGEMENT: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

What is Trade mark Infringement?

It happens when someone uses a mark that is identical or confusingly similar to a registered trade mark for similar goods or services. The key question: Will consumers be confused about the source?

Factors considered include:

✅ Similarity of the marks

✅ Similarity of the goods/services

✅ Strength of the trademark

✅ Evidence of actual confusion

Trade mark owners can take legal action to stop infringement and recover damages.

Common Defenses to Infringement Claims:

1️⃣ Fair Use: Using the mark for descriptive or nominative purposes.

2️⃣ Lack of Confusion: Arguing consumers won’t confuse the marks.

3️⃣ Invalidity of Trade mark: Challenging the trade mark’s validity.

Defendants may also claim that the trade mark has been abandoned or that the registration was fraudulent.
