TM protection at customs

TM protection at customs

Customs is not only a place of border crossing and customs payments. It is also a powerful tool for protecting your trademark (TM). In the world, more and more attention is paid to the protection of intellectual property, in particular at customs, where the illegal movement of goods infringing the rights of trademark owners can be detected and stopped.

How is the TM protection process carried out at customs?

Monitoring and detection.

  • Market surveillance: Customs conducts systematic monitoring of goods imported or exported across the border.
  • Detection of infringements: Customs may detect goods that are similar to your TM or infringe your rights.

Stop and check.

  • Import stop: Customs can stop the movement of goods that infringe TM rights.
  • Document verification: customs checks documents confirming the legality of the goods and their compliance with the declared TM.

Information and response.

  • Owner notification: Customs may notify the TM owner of detected violations.
  • Responding to violations: the owner of the TM is given the opportunity to apply to the customs office with a request to stop the violations.

Variants of actions of the TM owner in relation to the violator at customs

Within 10 days after the notification from the customs, the owner of the trademark has the opportunity to make a strategic decision regarding further actions regarding the violator. Here are some options he might consider:

Agreement through license agreement:

  • The TM owner may consider entering into a license agreement with the infringer.
  • In such a case, the owner may grant the infringer the right to use his TM under the conditions specified in the agreement and in exchange for appropriate compensation.

Addressing the court:

  • If the owner believes that the violation of his TM rights is serious and does not agree to a compromise, he can go to court.
  • Legal action may include claims to cease violations, damages, and other legal remedies.

Compromise solution:

  • Sometimes it is worth considering the possibility of reaching a compromise solution with the violator without court proceedings.
  • This may involve negotiating and reaching a mutually beneficial agreement that satisfies both parties.

Consultation with a lawyer:

  • Before making a decision, the TM owner is advised to contact legal experts for qualified advice.
  • A lawyer will help assess the situation, consider all options and develop an optimal plan of action.

The TM owner has the right to choose the option that corresponds to his goals, interests and business development strategy. The key is a competent and well-founded strategy that will help ensure the protection of his rights and interests in the field of intellectual property.
