What remedies are available for an infringement cause of action?
The types of relief available include injunctive relief, monetary relief, cancellation of trademark registration, barring of importation from abroad, and possible criminal penalties. The most common form of relief granted to a successful plaintiff in a trademark infringement lawsuit is an injunction against further infringement. If the infringed mark was federally registered, attorneys fees may be available to a successful plaintiff. Monetary damages are also available under the Lanham Act but are rarely awarded.
