Trademark Infringement
Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a trademark—like a logo or brand name—without permission in a way that could confuse consumers about the source of the goods or services. This can happen if a competitor tries to sell similar products using a similar name or symbol that resembles a well-known brand. The goal of trademark law is to protect businesses' brand identities and prevent consumer confusion, ensuring that consumers know exactly who they are buying from and maintaining the value of established brands.

Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a trademark that is identical or very similar to a registered trademark, without permission, in a way that could confuse consumers about the source of a product or service. This could happen through similar logos, names, or packaging that mislead customers into thinking one brand is affiliated with or endorsed by another. The law protects trademarks to ensure that businesses can build their brand reputation without the threat of others unfairly capitalizing on their identity. Legal action can be taken against those who infringe on a trademark to prevent further confusion and protect the brand.
