Patents for Enforcement
Defendants are usually only aware of the alleged infringement and face prosecution after the plaintiff obtains a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the court, via email or notice on the platform. Many sellers may ignore these notices and miss the initial warning, only to find out that their account has been frozen when they try to withdraw their money, and then they know that they have become a defendant in the lawsuit.
After learning of the lawsuit, the seller should first suspend the sale of the allegedly infringing goods and check the amount of funds frozen in the account. If the amount of funds is small, the seller can consider contacting the plaintiff directly to try to negotiate a settlement on the initiative. If the frozen amount is large, you can consult Jude, we can provide you with an appropriate solution strategy based on the specific situation of your store.
