Does trademark application alone amount to legal trademark infringement?
Sir, I am a law student. I bought a domain and filed a trademark application under "proposed to be used." After receiving an objection due to a similar trademark, I abandoned the application and deleted the domain. Later, I received a cease-and-desist letter asking me to sign a form. I withdrew the application but didn't sign anything. I never used the trademark commercially. Does just filing a trademark application amount to infringement?
Filing a trademark application alone does not amount to infringement if you never used it commercially. You acted in good faith by withdrawing it and deleting the domain. You are not liable, and signing anything now is not required. Keep records of your withdrawal to protect yourself from false claims. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
