Enforcement & Infringements
Intellectual property rights confer the legal entitlement upon the registered owner of a trade mark, patent or design to use their intellectual property exclusively. On some occasions, intellectual property owners may have to take specific steps to enforce and protect their monopoly rights, including the commencement of court proceedings.
At Hazan Hollander, our lawyers have extensive experience and a strong track record in successfully representing businesses in the federal and state courts.
On other occasions, a person may have engaged in conduct that an intellectual property owner objects to. For instance, they may have honestly carried on business under a name that is substantially identical or deceptively similar to that of an owner of a registered trade mark.
Hazan Hollander also provides services for individuals and businesses defending infringement proceedings. Our team has a long history of obtaining successful outcomes in negotiating settlements and defending clients in court proceedings.
