Someone Is Copying My Brand: What Can I Do?
Steps to take against trademark infringement in India: evidence, legal notice and court remedies.
Quick answer
Collect evidence, check whether your mark is registered, send a cease-and-desist legal notice and, if needed, approach the court for an injunction.
What to do if someone copies your trademark
A registered mark gives the strongest rights, but unregistered marks can also be protected through passing off. Keep screenshots, invoices and proof of your use. Early action prevents the copy from spreading.
