trademark violation

Unauthorized logo use

Trademark violation is the unauthorized use of a protected trademark in a way that causes confusion about the source of goods or services.

This includes using identical or similar marks, logos, or brand names without permission: The knockoff bags were seized for trademark violation.

The harm lies in misleading consumers or diluting the original brand's distinctiveness.
