I have suffered trademark infringement... Please help me, attorney.

I never thought this would happen to me... I make and sell idol dolls. Of course, I obtained a business registration certificate and also registered my trademark. However, I recently saw someone selling dolls that are almost identical to mine... This is trademark infringement, right? If there is an attorney who has handled trademark infringement cases, please help me.

Hello. I am an intellectual property rights attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

If you have registered a trademark for the dolls you sell, another person selling similar dolls may constitute trademark infringement.

In the case of trademark infringement, the Trademark Act imposes heavy punishment of imprisonment for up to 7 years or a fine not exceeding 100 million won.

Whether trademark infringement exists is determined based on the similarity of the trademarks (design, name, and form).

If trademark infringement has occurred, it is first necessary to collect the relevant products and conduct a comparative analysis.

Afterward, you may send a certified content-proof letter asserting the trademark infringement and then seek a settlement.

The settlement amount for trademark infringement varies widely depending on the extent of the infringement and the harm, and seeking the assistance of an attorney experienced in this field can help you respond more effectively.

If negotiation proves difficult, you can take legal action through a civil lawsuit, and in some cases you may file a criminal complaint, which can lead to criminal punishment.

If trademark infringement is suspected, it is important to consult with an attorney and take specific legal steps.

Our firm provides one-stop legal services for trademark infringement cases through collaboration among criminal law attorneys, civil law attorneys, and intellectual property rights attorneys.
