The Cease And Desist Letter IP Infringement is a crucial legal instrument used in Malta when intellectual property rights are being violated. It serves as a formal notification and demand to stop unauthorized use of protected intellectual property, whether involving trademarks, patents, copyrights, or design rights. This document is particularly relevant in Malta's growing knowledge-based economy and must comply with both Maltese national law and EU regulations. It typically precedes formal legal proceedings and can be used as evidence in court that the rights holder attempted to resolve the dispute amicably. The letter must be carefully drafted to ensure enforceability within Malta's legal framework while considering the international aspects of IP protection, especially within the EU context.
