The Kinder Law Group: Rigorous Defense of Your Brand

The team at The Kinder Law Group provides businesses in many industries with brand protection, from preemptive strategies for protection to reviewing options for enforcement that meet your company’s needs. Our firm can help you with each aspect of brand protection. We help you manage your intellectual property portfolio and protect your business’s reputation from predatory third parties.

Intellectual Property Acquisition and Strategy

The most effective way to protect your brand is to take proactive steps to register your intellectual property and create a strategy for brand protection. When you work with a dedicated attorney, they can help you properly register trademarks and copyrights, apply for patents, secure domain names, and identify and protect trade secrets. This includes conducting searches to determine any potential conflicts and addressing those upfront.

It’s important that your intellectual property portfolio and your strategies for protection align with your company’s goals. Whether your business is planning to remain local or has plans for nationwide or global expansion, this can affect the ideal methods for brand protection. Proactive brand protection also includes systems to identify brand threats quickly so that enforcement methods can happen quickly.

Methods of Brand Enforcement

Prior to litigation, there are several ways to enforce your brand and prevent infringement. An effective brand protection strategy helps address infringement quickly and enforces the protection of your brand through actions such as:

  • Cease and desist letters. These formal letters can be sent when an individual or entity is infringing on your intellectual property, such as your copyright or trademark rights. It demands that the party ends their infringement of your rights to the intellectual property. Multiple letters can be sent to warn of the potential for litigation. These letters often result in the end of infringement.
  • Takedown notices. If your copyrighted material is being used without your permission, you can issue a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice requesting that the online platform remove the copyrighted material.
  • Opposition proceedings. When your trademark is being infringed on, and the infringing party is trying to register their own trademark, you can file a notice of opposition or a petition to cancel this trademark registration through the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
  • Out-of-court negotiations. Sending a cease and desist letter or taking other enforcement actions prior to litigation can result in negotiations between parties.

Enforcing Your Rights in Litigation

If these enforcement methods fail to prevent infringement, your intellectual property rights can be enforced through filing a claim in state or federal court. This method of enforcement is more time-consuming and costly, but it is very effective in preventing infringement and recovering your financial damages. In a successful claim, you could recover monetary compensation for lost profits, attorney’s fees, and even punitive damages.
