WHAT TO DO WHEN ACCUSED OF INFRINGEMENT

I have been accused of patent, copyright or trademark infringement. What should I do?

Preserve all documents relating to the accused infringement. This includes, but is not limited to accused products, product specifications, sales records, profit statements, correspondence with customers, emails, invoices, advertisements and bank statements. Failure to do this could result in claims of spoliation and sanctions for destruction of evidence.

Call Peter A. Koziol, Esq. at 561-235-0725.

Depending on the circumstances you may want to cease sales of the accused infringing products, but this is not always required or the best strategy.

Your supplier or the original seller may have a duty to indemnify you.

Depending on your business insurance, you might also be able to file a claim with your insurer.
