What should you do if you are sued?
When you are sued by a brand but haven’t sold any products yet, there are two ways we recommend responding.
- Respond to lawsuit, you can hire a lawyer who will file a document called an “Answer” in court on your behalf. This document will list a response to each allegation which claims you admit it, deny it, or lack the information to make a decision on the matter.
2. Move to dismiss the case, with a formal written document called a “motion” you can ask for the case to be dismissed on the basis that the court lacks jurisdiction over you, you lack connection with the state with the court is located, or the evidence does not amount to a charge against you because you have never made any sales.
