81-215. Remedies. (a) Any owner of a mark registered under this act may proceed by suit to enjoin the manufacture, use, display or sale of any counterfeits or imitations of such mark and any court of competent jurisdiction may grant injunctions to restrain such manufacture, use, display or sale as the court deems just and reasonable, and may require the defendants to pay to such owner all profits derived from or all damages suffered by reason of such wrongful manufacture, use, display or sale, or both. Such court also may order that any such counterfeits or 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 complainant, to be destroyed. The court, in its discretion, may enter judgment for an amount not to exceed three times such profits and damages or reasonable attorney fees of the prevailing party, or both, in such cases where the court finds the other party committed such wrongful acts with knowledge or in bad faith or otherwise as according to the circumstances of the case.
(b) The enumeration of any right or remedy in this section shall not affect a registrant's right to prosecute under any criminal law of this state.
