Thomasville Trademark Infringement Lawyer
The property rights of writers, inventors, owners of trademarks and other creators, and owners of intellectual property (IP) are protected by law. When someone infringes, or violates, these rights, owners of intellectual property have options. At The Millsaps Law Firm, in Camilla, Georgia, our attorney undertakes litigation of behalf of clients whose patents, trademarks and copyrights have been violated. We seek damages and other compensation for people whose property rights were violated.
Examples of Infringement
We handle cases involving:
- Copyright infringement: copying or theft of recorded music, lyrics or published material that includes books, magazines, games, artwork and movies
- Patent infringement: manufacturing or selling an item registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office without authorization
- Trademark infringement: using a trademark or a similar mark or name without permission or license, confusing the unauthorized trademark for the originally trademarked item
Copyright
It is not required to publish your work or register your work with the Copyright Office at the Library of Congress in order to bring an infringement action. Our law firm will help you document your creative process so that you can prove the work in question was indeed creative by you and that your copyright was violated.
Patents
Patent cases can be complicated, requiring analysis of the patent itself and the alleged infringing item, the length of time that has elapsed, the relative financial situations of each side and the potential cost of legal action. If, after this evaluation, you decide to move forward to enforce your patent rights, we will send a cease and desist letter to the infringer and take subsequent legal action to recover costs and damages.
Trademarks
Unlike patents, trademarks do not to have to be registered, although many owners of trademarks do take this extra step. If you believe your trademark was violated, our lawyer can send a cease and desist letter, require the infringer to correct the use of the trademark or obtain an injunction against the further use of the trademark. We can also sue to recover costs and fees associated with the legal action.
