Document background
A Cease and Desist For Copyright Infringement is typically employed when there is clear evidence of unauthorized use of copyrighted material. This document serves as a crucial first step in protecting intellectual property rights under English and Welsh law, often preceding formal legal proceedings. It should be used when informal attempts to resolve the infringement have failed or when immediate action is required. The document establishes a formal record of the copyright holder's awareness of the infringement and their attempt to resolve it, which can be valuable if court proceedings become necessary. It includes specific details about the copyrighted work, nature of the infringement, and clear demands for resolution.
