Contributory Infringement
Some may wonder how one can be liable for trademark infringement when he or she did not mislabel any product or deceive anyone. The answer lies in a legal doctrine called contributory infringement. This doctrine states a person or company may be liable if he, she or it supplies the ammunition that facilitates the infringement. Therefore, in the hypothetical above, the printer that provides the infringing packaging may be named as a defendant in Dunkin’ Donuts’ lawsuit against Rinky Dinky.
