Victoria also shared ideas on how to deal with the difficulty of collecting evidence and proving damages when trademarks are infringed, and advised on common strategies that large companies implemented to their lawful trademark rights, such as registration in all relevant classes to ensure sufficient protection, watching for similar trademarks and filing of oppositions, and investigating major online sales platforms and taking action to remove infringing products.
