Legal challenges

Once infringement is discovered, the window to act, preserve evidence and choose the right response, whether a cease and desist letter, an administrative complaint, a border measure or litigation, is often shorter than clients expect.

How we help

We coordinate the investigation, evidence preservation and response strategy once infringement is identified, choosing the fastest proportionate route to stop it, whether that is a letter, an administrative filing, a customs measure or court action.

Infringement rarely announces itself conveniently, and the strength of any later action depends heavily on what is done in the first days after it is discovered: preserving evidence, documenting the infringing goods or use, and deciding the right forum before the opportunity to act narrows.

We coordinate that response from the first report: assessing the strength of the underlying registration, gathering and preserving evidence, and recommending the proportionate route, a cease and desist letter, a marketplace takedown, an administrative complaint before the Department of Industry, a customs measure, or litigation where nothing less will resolve it.

This is the practice that sits behind every industry and practice area on this site: whatever the right is, trademark, patent, design or copyright, enforcement is how it is made to mean something in the market.
