How do I file a trademark infringement lawsuit?

To file a trademark infringement lawsuit in the state of Nebraska, the aggrieved party must first file a complaint in the appropriate district court. The complaint must include an explanation of why the aggrieved party believes their trademark has been infringed upon. It should also provide any evidence the aggrieved party has to prove their claim. The next step is to serve the defendant, which means providing them with the complaint, the summons, and any other appropriate paperwork. The aggrieved party will usually hire a process server for this task. After the defendant has been served, they will have a certain amount of days to respond to the complaint. The aggrieved party will then decide if they want to proceed with mediation or a trial. In mediation, both parties will work with an experienced mediator to try and work out a solution. If the parties cannot agree on a solution, or the defendant does not respond to the complaint, the aggrieved party can proceed to a trial. Here, a judge will hear both sides of the story and ultimately decide who is in the right. After the decision has been made, the aggrieved party may be able to receive compensation for damages. This could include money or the defendant stopping the infringing activity. It is important to remember that while filing a trademark infringement lawsuit can be difficult, it is important to take steps to protect a business’s trademarks from being infringed upon.
