Why We Protect Our Trademarks
The COOLMAX® brand is known worldwide for its innovative cooling technologies. For more than 30 years, we have invested in raising brand awareness among consumers worldwide. That’s why we rigorously protect our trademarks and defend them against infringement. Inferior garments that claim to be made with COOLMAX® technology can seriously damage the brand’s reputation.
Fighting Infringement
The COOLMAX® trademark is a valuable asset, which is why The LYCRA Company protects and defends the brand around the world. Often, trademark infringement is unintentional and can be remedied quickly, but when it’s determined to be intentional, we will take legal action to protect our trademarks. If you see a product that you think may be counterfeit, please report it to your account representative.
