TM Infringement Notice

A Trademark Infringement Notice is a formal legal notice sent to a person or business that is unlawfully using your registered trademark without permission. It is the first step toward protecting your brand rights under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

If someone is using your brand name, logo, or mark without authorization, immediate legal action is essential to prevent financial and reputational loss.
