Entertainment Trademark Infringement Attorneys
Lewis & Lin represents creators, influencers, production companies, video game developers, and other rights holders in trademark, unfair competition, false endorsement, and branding disputes.
Trademark disputes involving entertainment and media clients often require balancing trademark rights against First Amendment protections for expressive works
Cases involving influencers, podcasts, band names, video games, theatrical productions, and other online content often present legal issues that do not arise in ordinary commercial trademark litigation.
Unlike traditional trademark disputes involving competing products, entertainment cases often require courts to determine whether the challenged use is protected artistic expression under the First Amendment.
Our attorneys understand the unique issues presented by:
expressive works
titles
fictional characters
parody
satire
commentary
nominative fair use
descriptive fair use
false endorsement
First Amendment defenses
the evolving case law governing trademark claims against expressive works
When Your Brand Requires Immediate Protection
Trademark disputes in the entertainment industry often require immediate action to protect valuable brands, cease infringement, prevent consumer confusion, stop false endorsement, preserve goodwill, or stop the unauthorized use of names, logos, slogans, and titles before the damage cannot be undone.
Many cases require prompt legal action, including sending and responding to cease-and-desist letters, filing preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders, and commencing trademark litigation. These actions may be necessary to protect valuable trademark rights and preserve the goodwill and brand recognition built through years of time, effort, and financial investment.
Lewis & Lin represents clients seeking and opposing preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders. We also litigate trademark and unfair competition claims.
