Internet Trademark Infringement

Businesses spend significant time and resources creating, marketing, and promoting their and logos as well as the names and logos of their products.  When a business creates a website, the logos and unique marks developed by the business are easily exposed for others to download, use, and in many cases utilize to compete against the owner of the trademark or trade name. 

Similarly, cybersquatters may register domain names containing a business' trade name or trademark. These domain name cybersquatters may intend to profit from the brand recognition, create customer confusion to promote competing products, or simply want to sell the domain name to the trademark owner for a profit.

  • A business receives a cease and desist letter accusing it of Internet trademark infringement.  The trademark in question is not unique and should have never qualified for trademark protection in the first place.  An Internet trademark lawyer intervenes to stop the bullying and idle threats of litigation against the business.
