HRS §482-33

Legal remedies for trademark infringement

If someone copies or imitates your registered mark, you can sue to stop them and get money for your losses. A court can also destroy the fake items and, in some cases, award you extra money and attorney fees. This section does not limit other legal options.

The statute, as written — Remedies

(a) The owner of a mark registered under this part may proceed by suit to enjoin the manufacture, use, display, or sale of any counterfeits or imitations of the mark, and any court of competent jurisdiction may grant injunctions to restrain such manufacture, use, display, or sale as the court deems just and reasonable, and may require the defendants to pay the owner all profits derived from and all damages suffered by reason of such wrongful manufacture, use, display, or sale; and the court may also order that any counterfeits or imitations in the possession or under the control of any defendant in the case be delivered to an officer of the court, or to the owner, to be destroyed. The court, in its discretion, may enter judgment for an amount not to exceed three times the lost profits and damages incurred by the owner, and award reasonable attorneys' fees to the owner when the court finds that the defendants committed the wrongful acts knowingly or in bad faith. (b) The enumeration of any right or remedy under this part shall not adversely affect a registrant's right to pursue criminal penalties under other laws of this State.
