adjudication of trademark disputes

Adjudication of trademark disputes is a formal process where a neutral authority, such as a court or an administrative body, reviews disagreements over the use or registration of a trademark. This process involves evaluating evidence from both sides to determine if a trademark infringes on another's rights or if its use causes confusion. The decision aims to protect the rights of the trademark owner, maintain fair competition, and prevent consumer confusion. The outcome may involve granting, cancelling, or restricting the use of the trademark, based on legal standards and the specifics of the case.
