What are the remedies available for a violation of a trade dress infringement claim?
In North Dakota, remedies for a trade dress infringement claim are available to those who have had their trade dress unlawfully copied or otherwise infringed upon by another person or entity. Trade dress refers to the design, packaging, or look of a product that makes it recognizable and distinguishable from other products. One of the main remedies for a trade dress infringement claim in North Dakota is monetary damages. This form of compensation seeks to make the plaintiff whole by providing monetary compensation for any losses they may have incurred as a result of the trade dress infringement. The amount of money available to the plaintiff will depend on the damages they have suffered, such as any lost profits, reputational damage, or any other financial losses incurred as a result of the infringement of their trade dress. Another remedy available to the plaintiff is an injunction. An injunction is a court order that requires the defendant to stop their infringing activities and to refrain from continuing to use the plaintiff’s trade dress. This remedy seeks to protect the plaintiff’s rights to their trade dress from any further infringement. Lastly, a third remedy for a trade dress infringement claim is an accounting of profits. An accounting of profits is a court-ordered process in which the defendant is required to disclose and account for any profits that they may have made from their infringing activities. This remedy is intended to deter the defendant from continuing to use the plaintiff’s trade dress in the future and to provide the plaintiff with some compensation for the damages they may have suffered.
