What are the remedies available for a violation of a trade dress infringement claim?

In Arizona, the remedies available for a violation of trade dress infringement claim depend on the circumstances of the case. Generally, a trade dress infringement claim can be remedied through an injunction, damages or a combination of the two. An injunction is a court order prohibiting someone from continuing an illegal activity or requiring someone to take a specific action. In the case of trade dress infringement, an injunction can be used to stop a violator from continuing to infringe on the protected trade dress of another party or to require them to make changes, such as discontinuing use of the infringing trade dress. Damages, meanwhile, can take the form of either compensatory or punitive damages. Compensatory damages are intended to put the injured party in the same position they would have been in if the injury hadn’t happened. In the context of trade dress infringement, compensatory damages cover monetary losses suffered when someone uses another party’s trade dress without permission. Punitive damages are intended to punish the violator and deter similar activity in the future. In addition, a court in Arizona may also order an award of attorney’s fees to the prevailing party in a trade dress infringement case. This is intended to allow the victims of trade dress infringement to obtain the legal representation needed to pursue the claim. In summary, the remedies for a violation of a trade dress infringement claim in Arizona may include an injunction, compensatory or punitive damages, and an award of attorney’s fees.
