๐ง Steps You Can Take:
1๏ธโฃ Send a Legal Notice:
Your first move should be to send a cease and desist letter. This is a formal notice demanding that the infringer stops using your trademark and stops any other illegal activities.
2๏ธโฃ File a Lawsuit for Infringement:
If the infringer ignores your notice, you can file a civil suit in the court for trademark infringement. This may result in damages or an order for the infringer to stop using your trademark.
3๏ธโฃ Apply for an Injunction:
You can request the court for an injunction to immediately stop the infringer from using your trademark while the case is ongoing.
4๏ธโฃ Criminal Action:
In cases of counterfeit goods or fraudulent use of your trademark, you can file a criminal case under Section 103 of the Trademarks Act, which could lead to penalties or imprisonment for the infringer.
