Action against the infringement of intellectual property
IP infringement.
The main company (USA) has sent a Cease & Desist Letter to the previous distributor in the UAE but they do not reply.
They remain using the brand name, showcasing it on their website and spoiling the market with selling off their remaining stock with bargaining prices and without warranty while we are the new authorized distributor.
How to stop this?
Kind regards,
N.V.A.
Dear questioner,
You can file a case in the UAE courts so that the previous distributor refrains from doing so.
You can start by sending a formal Legal Notice to the previous distributors.
Further, if they don't stop even after that, then you can claim compensation from them for doing so.
If need be, kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.
You can also send them a judicial notice that you have become the new distributor from such and such dates, according to the agreement signed with the company and that the main company has notified you of.
The original notification shall be attached with taking them fully legal responsibility and referring them to compensation in case of any damages to you.
For more information, you can contact our office.
Thank you.
