Document background
A Cease And Desist Letter Copyright Infringement is a crucial legal instrument used in India when copyright holders discover unauthorized use of their intellectual property. This document is typically employed as a first formal step in addressing copyright violations before initiating court proceedings, drawing its authority from the Indian Copyright Act of 1957 and related legislation. The letter serves to establish the copyright holder's rights, document the specific nature of the infringement, and demand immediate cessation of unauthorized use. It's particularly relevant in today's digital age where content can be easily copied and distributed without permission. The document must be carefully drafted to include all essential elements required under Indian law, including clear identification of the copyrighted work, proof of ownership, specific details of the infringement, and explicit demands for compliance.
