     § 1125.  Remedies.
        (a)  General rule.--Any owner of a mark registered under this
     chapter may proceed by suit to enjoin the manufacture, use,
     display or sale of any counterfeits or imitations thereof, and
     any court of competent jurisdiction may grant injunctions to
     restrain such manufacture, use, display or sale as may be by the
     court deemed just and reasonable, and may, except as provided in
     section 1123 (relating to infringement), require the defendants
     to pay to such owner all profits derived from and all damages
     suffered by reason of such wrongful manufacture, use, display or
     sale, and such court may also 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 and/or reasonable attorney fees
     of the prevailing party 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)  Exception.--No owner of such a mark shall have such
     right of injunction against an advertising agency, publisher of
     newspapers, magazines or other advertising media accepting
     authorization for the reproduction or copy of any such mark
     innocently and in good faith in the usual course of business.
        (c)  Criminal prosecutions unaffected.--The enumeration of
     any right or remedy in this chapter shall not affect the right
     of a registrant to prosecute under Title 18 (relating to crimes
     and offenses).
