Trademark Litigation
Your trademarks and brands should set you apart from the competition
Trademarks and brands communicate the quality and distinctiveness of your products and services. Infringement or dilution of a mark or brand can result in lost market share, and cost millions in revenue and customer goodwill. We have helped some of the nation’s top brands enforce their trademarks in federal and state courts, and have a proven track record in complex, high-stakes trademark litigation.
Bunsow De Mory’s trademark lawyers have vast experience helping companies protect valuable goodwill built up in their brands, and handling a wide variety of trademark disputes, including those related to:
- Trademark infringement/unfair competition
- False advertising
- Online infringement
- Cybersquatting and domain name issues
- Merchandising and licensing disputes
- Trade dress infringement
- Dilution
- Counterfeiting
Policing & Enforcement
We help clients identify and police unauthorized use of their trademarks and remove offending products from the market through take-down notices, cease-and-desist letters, and working directly with the major e-commerce platforms.
Brand Protection
Successful brand protection programs do not rely on litigation alone. We can help you develop robust policies regarding the use, licensing, and enforcement of your trademarks and branding. We can also draft and improve your trademark licenses, design and development agreements, manufacturing and supply agreements, etc.
