2019 Ohio Revised Code
Title [13] XIII COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS - OHIO UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE
Chapter 1329 - LABELS AND MARKS
Section 1329.66 - Rights and remedies.

Any owner of a trademark or service mark registered under the sections 1329.54 to 1329.67 of the Revised Code, 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 may be by the the [sic.] court considered just and reasonable, and may require the defendants to pay to the owner all profits derived from and all damages suffered by reason of the wrongful manufacture, use, display, or sale; the court may also order that any such counterfeits or imitations in the possession or under the control of any defendant in such case, be delivered to an officer of the court, or to the complainant, to be destroyed.

If the infringement complained of is contained in or is part of paid advertising in a newspaper, magazine, or other periodical, the remedies of the owner of the right infringed as against the publisher or distributor of such periodical shall be confined to an injunction against the presentation of such advertising matter in future issues. These limitations shall apply only to innocent infringers and injunctive relief shall not be available to the owner of the right infringed in respect of an issue of a periodical containing infringing matter when restraining the dissemination of such infringing matter in any particular issue of such periodical would delay the delivery of such issue after the regular time therefor, and the delay would be due to the method by which publication and distribution of such periodical is customarily conducted in accordance with sound business practice, and not to any method or device adopted for the evasion of this section or to prevent or delay the issuance of an injunction or restraining order with respect to such infringing matter.

The enumeration of any right or remedy herein shall not affect a registrant's right to prosecute under any appropriate penal law of this state.

Effective Date: 10-20-1978 .
