The starting point.
An unauthorised use must also be read in the light of existing reports. Former distributors, licensors and suppliers may have relevant agreements or communications. Before submitting a contest, rebuild the perimeter of permissions and what has changed.
Documents to be collected.
- Previous contracts and authorizations
- Materials and channels of observed use
- Communications on the end of the report
For each document annotated origin, date and subject that has prepared it. If there are different versions, keep the connection between the initial material and updates. This reconstruction allows to distinguish what is documented by the elements that still require a feedback.
A practical example.
A former partner maintains the trademark on the site after the conclusion of the collaboration. The verifications start from the contract and the communications, as well as from the pages actually published.
Illustrative example: does not describe an assignment or a result of LegalMark.
How to arrange the comparison.
Describe the goal of the enterprise, the calendar of activities and the stakeholders involved. It is useful to separate immediate priorities from decisions that depend on further verifications. A first message may contain an unreserved synthesis; complete technical materials and agreements may be shared after defining the methods of comparison.
The dossier must allow you to understand what data is up to date, what positions are to be checked and who can provide the missing information. The next path depends on the circumstances of the case: the initial collection of documents does not guarantee the outcome of a registration, negotiation or contestation.
