Document background
The Intellectual Property Cease And Desist Letter is a critical legal instrument used under Irish law when there is evidence of unauthorized use or infringement of intellectual property rights. This document is typically employed as a first formal step in addressing IP infringement before initiating court proceedings. It serves to establish a clear record of the rights holder's attempt to resolve the matter amicably while preserving their legal position. The letter must comply with Irish IP legislation and EU regulations, incorporating specific elements such as clear identification of the protected IP, detailed description of the infringement, and explicit demands for cessation. It's particularly important in Ireland's business environment, where both domestic IP laws and EU regulations provide strong protection for intellectual property rights.
