Has someone copied your brand name, logo, or trademark? It’s time to take legal action.
Your trademark is more than a symbol — it’s your brand identity, reputation, and business value. If another party is using your registered or applied-for trademark without authorization, you have the right to issue a Trademark Infringement Notice and stop them legally.
At Draft It Legal, we help businesses across India and globally draft and send legally enforceable Trademark Infringement Notices to counterfeiters, copycats, and violators — protecting your brand and preventing further misuse.
What is Trademark Infringement?
Trademark infringement happens when someone uses a mark that is identical or confusingly similar to a registered trademark without the owner’s permission, causing customer confusion or brand dilution.
✅ Example: If your brand “BrandGlow” is registered, and another business uses “BranGlow” in the same industry — it may be grounds for legal action.
What is a Trademark Infringement Notice?
A Trademark Infringement Notice is a formal legal notice sent to the infringing party, demanding them to:
Immediately cease unauthorized use of your mark
Remove trademark from products, packaging, websites, etc.
Respond within a legally valid time period
Prevent further legal escalation like a lawsuit or injunction
This is often the first step before filing a trademark infringement case in court under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
When Should You Send an Infringement Notice?
You should issue a notice if:
Your registered trademark is being copied or misused
A business is using a similar logo, name, or brand element
You’re seeing duplicate domains, fake social media pages, or listings
Counterfeit or duplicate products are being sold under your name
You receive customer confusion or misdirected communication
🛑 Delay in action can harm your rights and dilute brand value.

You can take the matter to court and demand damages, injunction, or criminal action, depending on the severity.
Q3. Is sending a legal notice mandatory before filing a case?
Not mandatory, but it’s advisable — shows good faith and gives a chance for resolution without litigation.
