FAQs
What can I report?
A. Trademark infringement
A trademark is a sign, such as a word, symbol, or logo, that a company uses to identify and differentiate its goods or services from those offered by other companies. For example, “AVENUE RETAIL” is a trademark we use to identify our services. Trademark laws aim to prevent confusion in relation to the origin of goods or services.
Examples of trademark infringement issues include:
Selling counterfeit or fake products of a branded item
Misusing a brand name (labelling an item with a brand that it isn’t manufactured by)
Misusing a logo (using logos owned by another party without consent)
B. Design right infringement
Generally, design rights relate to the shape of products or the way they look, as opposed to how they work and the ideas behind them. A design right therefore protects a product (or part of a product’s) appearance, which results from its features. For example, the product’s lines, colours, shape, texture or materials, but not its functionality. Design rights exist to prevent unauthorised parties from producing or using the design without permission. For example, if the shape and colour used on a designer handbag was reproduced without permission to make a product that imitates it.
C. Copyright infringement
Generally, copyright is a form of legal protection granted to the authors of original creative works, including books, works of art, photographs, computer programs, music or videos. If a work qualifies for protection, the right arises automatically as soon as the original work is created and gives its owner the exclusive right to distribute or copy the work for a fixed period of time.
Examples of copyright infringement include:
Stock photos or original descriptions taken and copied without permission
Scanned copies of copyright protected artwork or photographs without permission
Burning copies of copyright protected music or films without permission
What is not reportable?
This form is for reporting alleged intellectual property infringements. It cannot be used for reporting contractual or distribution issues. Please see more information below:
A. Selective distribution issues where the supplier of a product wishes to control where a product is sold by enforcing distribution agreements with authorised sellers.
B. Contractual issues including, for example, issues relating to contractual restrictions on the way a product is sold.
C. Pricing issues such as the enforcement of pricing policies set by a supplier on the seller.
D. Regulatory compliance issues including, for example, issues relating to the sale of products that are controlled or restricted by governmental or regulatory authorities.
What if I am not the rights owner or their representative?
This procedure is intended for use by rights owners, or exclusive licensees of rights, to notify AVENUE RETAIL of alleged intellectual property infringement.
