FAQ
A declaratory judgment is a ruling of the court to clarify something (usually a contract provision) that is in dispute. A summary judgment is a ruling that a case or portion of a case must be dismissed because there are no triable issues of material fact in dispute.
An example of a declaratory judgment in an insurance situation may occur when a policyholder and an insurer disagree about whether a particular claim is covered under the insurance policy. For instance, suppose a homeowner files a claim with their insurance company for damages to their home caused by a storm.
So a declaratory decree is one which resolves the legal uncertainty of the rights and status of the parties. However, passing of a declaratory decree is a matter of discretion of Court and it cannot be claimed as a right.
A declaratory judgment plaintiff does not need to allege actual infringement. It is sufficient, for standing purposes, to show that a party “has engaged in a course of conduct evidencing a definite intent and apparent ability to commence use of the mark.” See Starter Corp. v. Converse, Inc., 84 F.
To bring a claim for declaratory judgment in a situation where a patent dispute may exist or develop, the claimant must establish that an actual controversy exists. If there is a substantial controversy of sufficient immediacy and reality, the court will generally proceed with the declaratory-judgment action.

A declaratory judgment establishes the rights and other legal actions of the parties without providing for or ordering enforcement. One example is, if you purchased a vehicle or boat and cannot obtain a certificate of title from the previous owner, you can obtain a judgment declaring your ownership.
