Penalties for infringement include damages based on the profit that either you could have made if you had sold the pirated products or profit that the individual actually made, as well as punitive damages. In addition, an injunction can be granted by the court to prevent further infringement from occurring. Infringement can result in serious damage to a company. It can mean that any and all information that uses a trademark or copyright that has been infringed upon can be confiscated. Any phone numbers that have been used in conjunction with any advertising of the infringed trademark can be redirected to the party that owns the trademark.
