Unauthorized use of a trademark

Unauthorized use of a trademark occurs when a third party uses a distinctive sign identical or similar to your registered trademark, without your authorization, for identical or similar products or services. This can generate confusion in the market, damage your reputation and cause economic losses.

Implications of Unauthorized Use of a Trademark

The consequences of unauthorized use of a trademark can be serious and varied, among them:

• Loss of customers: consumers may confuse the infringer’s goods or services with their own, which can lead to loss of customers and market share.
• Reputational damage: unauthorized use of a trademark can damage your company’s reputation and generate a negative association with inferior products or services.
• Economic losses: Unauthorized use of a trademark can result in direct economic losses, such as decreased sales; and indirect economic losses, such as legal expenses associated with defending your rights.
