Filing a Lawsuit
Lawsuit on proscription of illegal use and collection of reimbursement
A lawsuit is filed in case when the infringement was not settled in the course of pre-court dispute settlement procedure or if sending of the letter of claim was considered inappropriate.
One of the methods of fighting counterfeit products sales is filing a lawsuit proscribing illegal use of intellectual property and collecting reimbursement for the illegal use of the intellectual property.
Before filing a lawsuit it is necessary to do the following:
- Collect the evidence of the infringement of the rights by the assumed defendant;
- Buy samples of products;
- Prepare notarized protocol of the infringer’s site inspection;
- Collect other evidence of the infringement.
