False Advertising & Trademark Litigation | McDermott Lawyers

Trademark and False Advertising Litigation

Overview


Your business depends on the strength of your brand, and trademarks play an important role in protecting that brand throughout your IP lifecycle. Competitors can dangerously impact your bottom line when they encroach on your corner of the marketplace and use—or misuse—your trademarks, capitalizing on your hard-earned goodwill and reputation. False or misleading claims made by those same competitors in advertising to consumers could also cause irreparable damage to your brand.

To protect your company, it’s crucial to have a trusted advisor by your side in the courtroom and the boardroom to enforce your trademarks and defend your intangible assets.
