Intellectual Property Cease and Desist Letters

Intellectual property and confidential business information can be central to a business’s value, reputation and competitive position. Where those rights or protections are infringed, a cease and desist letter can be a practical first step before formal legal action is considered.

The documents in this collection cover infringement or misuse involving copyright, trade marks, registered designs, patents, passing off, confidential information and breach of licence.

Cease and desist letters for IP infringement

These templates help rights holders set out the alleged infringement and require the recipient to stop the offending conduct. They are designed for common IP enforcement situations involving:

copyright infringement;
registered and unregistered trade mark infringement;
registered design infringement;
patent infringement; and
passing off.

Letters for breach of confidentiality and licence terms

The collection also includes letters for situations where confidential information has allegedly been misused or a licensee has acted outside the terms of an intellectual property licence.

These letters can help the rights holder require the recipient to stop the breach, provide an undertaking, and, where relevant, hand over materials or documents connected with the breach.

First enforcement step before legal action

A cease and desist letter is often used to put the recipient on notice, explain the alleged breach or infringement, and require corrective action by a specified date.

If the letter does not resolve the issue, further legal action may be necessary.
