Undertakings

When you suspect that a competitor is misusing your intellectual property, you may request that they agree to undertakings as part of the pre-action process. These legally binding promises ensure that the competitor ceases their infringing behaviour, with the option to bring a claim if they breach the agreement. Securing appropriate undertakings can provide assurance of compliance and enable you to enforce your rights effectively.

Conversely, your business might be asked to give undertakings if a competitor believes you have infringed their rights. This could be due to genuine concerns or an attempt to deter you from legitimate competition.
