TM Infringement Notice

Easy My Tax – Trademark Infringement Notice

Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a brand name, logo, or symbol that is very similar to your registered trademark. This can confuse customers and harm your brand's reputation. A Trademark Infringement Notice is the first legal step to stop this misuse. At Easy My Tax, we help you send a professional notice that informs the infringer about the violation and asks them to stop immediately. We also explain the legal consequences they may face if they don't comply.

If you're facing trademark misuse, Easy My Tax provides expert help in drafting and sending a notice both by email and registered post.

What is Trademark Infringement?

Trademark infringement means someone is using a logo, name, or design that looks similar to your registered trademark without your permission. This can be a word, symbol, or design that represents your business. If this use causes confusion among customers or takes unfair advantage of your brand’s image, it is considered a legal violation.

Types of Trademark Infringement

There are two major types:

1. Direct Infringement
When someone uses a trademark that is identical or deceptively similar to your registered trademark in the same category of goods or services.

2. Indirect Infringement
When someone else supports or contributes to the infringement, such as by helping to promote or sell the infringing products.

When Should You Send a Trademark Infringement Notice?

You can send a notice if:

• Your trademark is being used without permission
• Someone’s brand is too similar to yours and may confuse customers
• They are selling similar products or services using a name or logo like yours
• They are using your trademark in advertising, packaging, or websites
• The use of their mark damages your brand’s reputation or image

What to Include in a Trademark Infringement Notice

When Easy My Tax drafts your notice, it includes:

• Your details and trademark information
• Name and contact info of the person violating the trademark
• A clear explanation of how they are using your mark
• Proof of your registration and examples of the infringement
• A request for them to stop using the mark immediately
• A deadline for action (usually 15–30 days)
• A warning of possible legal action if they don’t comply

Legal Grounds for Sending a Trademark Notice

As per Section 29 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, a trademark owner can take legal action if:

• The mark used is identical or similar to your registered trademark
• The use causes confusion in the market
• The mark takes unfair advantage of your reputation
• The mark is used on packaging or labels without your permission
• The mark is used in a misleading advertisement

When Trademark Use is NOT Considered Infringement

According to Section 30 of the Trade Marks Act, some uses are not considered infringement, such as:

• Using the trademark to describe the product’s nature or quality
