Can an advertiser be liable for infringement of intellectual property rights?

Yes, an advertiser can be liable for infringement of intellectual property rights in Delaware. Intellectual property includes trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, all of which can be infringed upon by an advertiser. For example, an advertiser may breach a copyright by using another person’s protected work without the copyright holder’s permission. Alternatively, an advertiser may infringe a trademark by using a similar mark or logo that is too closely related to an already established mark. Intellectual property infringement can create significant legal risks for advertisers, including potential liability for damages and an injunction against the infringing activities. In Delaware, a court may award monetary damages to a copyright holder whose work has been infringed upon, including actual damages or the infringer’s profits and statutory damages. A court may also grant an injunction to stop an advertiser from using the intellectual property in question. In addition to potential legal liability, advertisers should be aware that intellectual property infringement can result in damage to an advertiser’s reputation and public image. Therefore, advertisers should exercise caution and seek legal advice or guidance before using any intellectual property. Doing so can help avoid potential liability for infringement.
