Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas
Lahnam Act
If I know that a manufacturing company is violating the Lahnam Act how do I file a claim to start a investigation? Is this something that would fall under the Whistle Blower Act? What forms do I need and how do I attain them?

Re: Lahnam Act
In what manner is the company violating the Lanham Act? Trademark infringement? Deceptive advertising? You need to be more specific, since the Lanham Act covers a lot of legal ground.
Re: Lahnam Act
1. Unless it's trenching upon your intellectual property you have no standing to complain.
2. The Whistleblower Act is not applicable!
3. Not applicable because of 1 & 2 above.
Re: Lahnam Act
You may file a complaint against the manufacturing company if that company's violation of the Act impacts your intellectual property rights. The Whistle Blower Act is not applicable and no pre-printed form is likely applicable.
