Intellectual Property Information
You may require the assistance of an intellectual property lawyer when you have infringed on the rights of an intellectual property holder.
This can easily happen when you have a website and have used material from another site to create an article. If not properly sited and if you don’t have the written permission from the author to use the graphics or information, the party may file a lawsuit against you. Normally a request will first follow to remove the information from your site. Do so immediately and if further steps have been taken by the party call in the help of an intellectual property lawyer.
The best advice is to always seek permission first before using the information. Another instance is where a company requests that you no longer use a design or logo because it causes public confusion since they have a trademark that is similar to yours.
This will be more complicated since you may have done branding with the logo and as such will have to establish whether you have in fact infringed on their rights.
