A Final Word: Avoiding Infringement

Few relish the idea of being threatened with a trademark infringement lawsuit.  And most would prefer to avoid fighting such a suit.

Avoiding trademark infringement suits starts with avoiding infringement. And fortunately, there are many paths to avoiding infringement, including:

  1. identifying others' trademark rights that might cover your mark;
  2. determining what those rights actually cover;
  3. assessing the validity of those rights;
  4. obtaining authorization to use the other party’s mark; and/or
  5. revising your mark or its use to avoid confusion.

Michael Haynes PLC is happy to assist with each of these activities.
