Keyword Trademark InfringementsAugust 27, 2004 Remember that it's always the trademark owner's responsibility to be vigilant and proactive. It isn't the search engines' mandate or their duty to police any of these actions. So, trademark owners, the time has come to protect your marketable assets. How to file a complaint with the search engines Print out such a letter and email it to the infringing party, and then you should send it by regular mail, preferably using a registered letter. If you will be using such a standard cease and desist letter, have it sent directly from your lawyers. The offending party will then know that you are serious about this matter and should treat it accordingly. Many attorneys will tell you that about 85% of trademark infringement cases are solved upon receipt of such a cease and desist letter. Assuming the offending party has not responded within a reasonable amount of time, say about 10 days, the second step you need to take is to gather all the information you can in preparing your case for the search engines. Simply run a query in Google, Yahoo, AltaVista and Overture for all your trademarks and brand names. With it, include your company name, services, products or any slogans your company uses in any of its advertisements, including all its offline pamphlets or catalogues. Also be sure to send them a copy of the cease and desist letter your lawyer sent them. <<< Previous Next: All your information has to be included in the report >>> Article written by Serge Thibodeau, Unless otherwise specified, all content and material on this site is copyrighted by Serge Thibodeau of rankforsales.com and may not be reproduced by any means without express written permission.
