Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter Intellectual Property is a crucial legal instrument in the Indian intellectual property protection framework, serving as a formal warning mechanism before pursuing litigation. This document is typically used when there is clear evidence of intellectual property infringement and the rights holder wishes to demand immediate cessation of the unauthorized activity. Under Indian jurisdiction, the letter must carefully detail the nature of IP rights owned, specific instances of infringement, and demands for resolution, while adhering to relevant Indian IP legislation such as the Trade Marks Act 1999, Copyright Act 1957, or Patents Act 1970. The document is particularly important as it creates a formal record of notification and can strengthen the rights holder's position in subsequent legal proceedings if the infringement continues.
