Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter Template Intellectual Property is a crucial legal tool used in England and Wales when intellectual property rights are being infringed. It serves as a formal warning and the first step in enforcing IP rights before initiating court proceedings. The document should be used when there is clear evidence of IP infringement and after identifying the infringing party. It typically includes details of the protected IP, evidence of ownership, specific instances of infringement, and clear demands for the cessation of infringing activities. The letter must comply with pre-action protocols under English law and can cover various forms of IP including patents, trademarks, copyright, and design rights.
