Cease and Desist Letters

If you believe a competitor is misusing your intellectual property, you can send a ‘cease and desist’ letter to address the issue and demand that they stop. Conversely, your business might receive a cease-and-desist letter if a competitor believes you’ve infringed their rights. This could be due to a genuine belief in infringement or an attempt to deter you from legitimate competition. Whether you’re looking to send a letter or have received a letter, we can help—contact us to address and resolve these issues effectively.
