[Legal Dispute] Trademark Use of Fishing Bait Leading to Damages Lawsuit

Law firm Veat represented the defendant in a civil lawsuit filed under the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, where the client was sued for using an existing trademark “A”.

The plaintiff argued that the client’s actions were subject to the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, but Veat argued that the plaintiff’s trademark lacked fame and that the period during which the plaintiff did not conduct business due to its own reasons should be excluded from the damages period. Ultimately, the court recognized the defendant’s argument and reduced the damages period, and the plaintiff and defendant concluded the case through agreement.

Law firm Veat is conducting cases with lawyers who are well-versed in related legal principles based on its experience in numerous Unfair Competition Prevention Act cases. We are working to minimize the client’s losses through fact-finding and legal analysis, not only in cases where a complaint has been filed but also in cases where the client is being sued.

Thank you.
