Trademark Infringement Settlement Terms Sheet

A Trademark Infringement Settlement Terms Sheet is a document that summarizes the key terms and conditions of a proposed settlement agreement between the parties to a trademark infringement dispute. The terms sheet typically includes a brief description of the parties and the dispute, the essential terms of the settlement (such as the scope of the injunction, the amount and timing of any payments, the transfer or license of any rights, the dismissal or release of any claims, and the confidentiality and publicity of the settlement), any contingencies or conditions precedent to the settlement, and any other relevant issues or considerations. The terms sheet is usually prepared by the parties’ counsel as a basis for further negotiation and drafting of a formal settlement agreement. The purpose of the terms sheet is to facilitate the settlement process by identifying and resolving the main points of agreement and disagreement between the parties, and by providing a framework for the final settlement document. The terms sheet is not usually binding on the parties unless and until it is incorporated into a signed settlement agreement. Effective settlement terms sheets can help to expedite and simplify the resolution of trademark infringement disputes and to avoid the cost, delay, and uncertainty of litigation.
