Intellectual Property
ABISOM IP and Law Firm represented a distinguished client in a trademark opposition case in Garowe, Somalia. The client, a well-known local business, discovered that a group of fraudulent entities were misusing its registered trademark, thereby causing significant harm to its brand reputation and market position.
Upon identifying the misuse, ABISOM IP and Law Firm promptly filed a litigation case against the fraudulent parties. Our legal team meticulously gathered evidence of the trademark infringement, demonstrating the extent of the unauthorized use and its impact on our client’s business. We also highlighted the deceptive practices employed by the infringers, which misled consumers and diluted the distinctive quality of our client's trademark.
The case proceeded to the First Instance Court in Garowe, where ABISOM IP and Law Firm presented a compelling argument, emphasizing the legal protections afforded to registered trademarks under Somalia and Puntland laws. We underscored the importance of upholding intellectual property rights to foster a fair business environment and protect legitimate enterprises from unfair competition.
After a thorough examination of the evidence and legal arguments, the court ruled in favor of our client, recognizing the clear infringement of the trademark by the fraudulent entities. The court ordered the immediate cessation of the unauthorized use of the trademark and mandated compensation for damages incurred by our client.
To further solidify our client's rightful ownership and inform the public, we coordinated the publication of advertisements in local newspapers owned by our client. These advertisements prominently displayed the authentic trademark and clarified the identity of the legitimate owner. This public notice helped to educate consumers and prevent further confusion in the marketplace.
This victory not only reaffirmed the strength of our client's trademark rights but also set a significant precedent for the enforcement of intellectual property laws in Somalia. It serves as a critical reminder of the legal protections available to businesses and the effective recourse against trademark infringement.
ABISOM IP and Law Firm remains committed to defending the intellectual property rights of our clients and ensuring justice is served in cases of trademark misuse and fraud.
