Design Infringement Advice

Design infringements occur when a design is copied or used without permission from its owner, violating the design’s intellectual property rights. Addressing infringements is crucial for protecting the value of the design and ensuring exclusive rights are upheld.

At LexGeneris, we provide comprehensive services to address design infringements, ensuring that our clients’ design rights are fully protected and enforced. Design infringement occurs when an unauthorized party uses, makes, sells, or imports a product that embodies a registered design without the owner’s consent. Such violations can significantly impact a business’s competitive edge and market share.

Our approach begins with a thorough analysis of the alleged infringement to determine its scope and impact. We compare the infringing product against our client’s registered design, assessing the similarities in appearance, shape, configuration, and overall impression. Based on this analysis, we advise our clients on the best course of action, whether it be negotiation, seeking an injunction, or pursuing legal action.

We also assist in drafting and sending cease and desist letters to the infringing party, demanding that they cease their unauthorized activities. If necessary, we guide our clients through the process of seeking damages or other legal remedies through the courts. At LexGeneris, our goal is to resolve design infringement issues swiftly and effectively, minimizing disruption to our clients’ business operations while safeguarding their valuable intellectual property rights.
