TRADEMARK LITIGATION
Trademark litigation often unfolds as a battle between competing sellers who argue over whether the defendant's conduct is likely to confuse consumers. Frequently, a plaintiff defends the trademark while simultaneously protecting consumers at risk for confusion. We understand the protection of a company's brand, image and creative work is critical to business success. HULSEYIP attorneys have represented a wide range of industries in trademark, trade dress, copyright, unfair competition, false advertising and domain name disputes.
We also litigate matters before the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), the International Trade Commission (ITC) and tribunals around the world, where we work collaboratively with experienced local counsel.
Because an important part of trademark enforcement is effective policing, we carefully monitor our clients' marks. We regularly issue cease and desist letters to avoid dilution of valuable trademark rights. In addition, we record registered marks with the Customs Service to prevent the importation of goods bearing infringing trademarks.
