What is the IP Infringement Cease and Desist Letter?
When someone in a foreign country uses a similar or identical trademark to yours or produces your patented product without authorization, you should send that party an IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter.
An IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter is usually prepared and sent by a lawyer licensed in that country. It notifies the party that they are infringing on your IP right and requires them to stop immediately. It advises the other party that additional formal actions such as litigation or formal complaint filed with the local government will be the next step if they do not take the situation seriously.
A well-crafted IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter sent by a lawyer can be a powerful tool to persuade the other party to correct their mistake by:

  • Stop using your trademark or making the infringing product

  • Recalling the infringing products or marketing material that bear your trademark

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of an IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter?

It is a formal demand requesting the infringing party to stop their wrongdoings. This is usually the least expensive way to stop an IP infringement, especially in a foreign country. Delivering a written warning with the support of a locally licensed lawyer saves you the cost and time of bringing formal legal actions against the other party.

What information is required before sending an IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter?

You need to provide information about your IPRs that are being infringed and the infringing party to the lawyer. We also strongly recommend that you collect evidence of the other party’s infringement before sending the letter.

Why do I need a lawyer to draft the demand instead of using a trademark, patent or copyright infringement cease and desist letter template from the internet?

A general template letter does not take into consideration Chinese IP law and IP protection regime. A well-drafted IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter should be based on the local law to be forceful and compelling. It must be tailored to your specific situation, considering the past dealings between the parties and your business goal. Having an experienced local lawyer draft and send out the IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter on your behalf puts more pressure on the other party to take action to stop infringement. Lawyers are also skilled at customizing the demands based on your circumstances, anticipating the possible reactions from the other party.

How serious and effective is an IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter?

The most important thing is to let the other party know that you are serious. An email or letter from a foreign company does not deliver a clear message that formal legal action is being considered. However, when an experienced lawyer with substantial experience enforcing IPRs in that market sends out a formal letter and calls the party, they immediately know that formal legal action is being taken against them. For example, in the experience of Mr. Hong Zheng, our vetted lawyer who provides this service, 80% of the time the infringing party stops their wrongdoing.

What else can I do if the IP Infringement Cease and Desist letter does not stop the other party from infringing my IPRs?

It is possible that the other party simply ignores the demand or changes to a less obvious way of infringement. The lawyer who assists you with this service is able to provide further legal advice, from providing further analysis to filing a lawsuit against the infringing party.
