Trademark Infringement Notice

A Trademark Infringement Legal Notice is a formal statutory communication drafted by a Trademark Advocate demanding that an unauthorized third party immediately cease and desist from using an identical or deceptively similar brand name, logo, domain, or packaging under Section 29 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, failing which civil and criminal legal proceedings will be initiated.

Trademark Infringement is a statutory remedy available under Section 29 ONLY for REGISTERED trademarks (where proving confusing similarity is sufficient). Passing Off is a common law remedy available under Section 27(2) for UNREGISTERED trademarks, where the owner must prove prior commercial goodwill, misrepresentation by the defendant, and actual damages.

You can demand: (1) Immediate cessation of the infringing name/logo across physical and digital channels, (2) Surrender and destruction of all infringing packaging, inventory, and marketing materials, (3) Transfer of infringing domain names and social media handles, (4) Written undertaking of non-infringement, and (5) Damages or rendition of illicit profits.
