Any registrant may
proceed by suit to enjoin the manufacture, use, display, or sale
of any counterfeits or colorable imitations of a trademark
registered under this chapter, and any court of competent
jurisdiction may grant an injunction to restrain such
manufacture, use, display, or sale as may be by the said court
deemed just and reasonable, and may require the defendants to pay
to such registrant all profits derived from and/or all damages
suffered by reason of such wrongful manufacture, use, display, or
sale; and such court may also order that any such counterfeits or
colorable imitations in the possession or under the control of
any defendant in such case be delivered to an officer of the
court, or to the registrant, to be destroyed. The court, in its
discretion, may enter judgment awarding reasonable attorneys'
fees and/or an amount not to exceed three times such profits and
damages in such cases where the court finds the other party
committed the wrongful acts in bad faith or otherwise as
according to the circumstances of the case.
The enumeration of any right or remedy herein shall not
affect a registrant's right to prosecute under any penal law of
this state.
