Q: Advice
The person who owns the Bronosonic trademark is taking money from people online for neon signs via Neon Signs in US and not shipping them out. The address they've listed on their website doesn't exist and I've tracked the IP address of their emails to China. Can you help?
A: It depends on the contract. If you have the right to sue in the US, you might get a default judgment and then execute on the trademark, though that will be complicated. You might then be able to get a restraining order on the web server advertising your trademark, and then go into the Bronosonic trademark sales business yourself ... assuming that the thieves in China actually own the trademark and other intellectual property. It will be a complicated case, and that means it will be expensive, but it might be worth it if this Bronosonic trademark is valuable.
