The United States Patent and Trademark Office Appeal Board
My party has requested that this brief be submitted. [Name]In an appeal against [Opposing Party] A trademark dispute can be resolved by a lawyer. I believe that my client’s trademark is being violated. [trademark name]The USPTO has found that the USPTO’s trademark rights have been violated and it is seeking relief.
A dispute was sparked by [Opposing Party] using my client’s trademark without permission to advertise its own goods or services. This was done by [describe how infringing occurred]. The unauthorized use has caused confusion among consumers resulting in damages to my client’s business reputation and financial losses due to lost sales opportunities.
It is clear that there was a violation of Section 1125(a) of the Lanham Act which states that “[a]ny person who uses an identical or confusingly similar mark in commerce shall be liable for any damages sustained by another party that are likely to arise out of such unauthorized use” (15 U.S.C§1125(a)). The provision prevents companies from using their advertising to infringe on trademarks. This causes confusion among consumers and reduces the value of said marks.
This client provided evidence to prove not only the infringement but why they feel they deserve compensation, such as money for their losses. I therefore urge the board in making a decision about this case to look at these facts so that we can get justice for our side and make sure our rights are protected moving forward.
Thank you for your time and consideration – I look forward to hearing from you soon
