Document background
A Patent Infringement Cease And Desist Letter is a crucial tool in intellectual property enforcement under Indian patent law. It is typically used when a patent owner discovers unauthorized use of their patented invention and wishes to formally demand the cessation of infringing activities before initiating litigation. The document must be carefully drafted to comply with Indian legal requirements, including specific references to the Patents Act, 1970 and relevant case law. It should clearly identify the patent(s) in question, detail the alleged infringement, and provide sufficient evidence to support the claims. This type of letter often serves as the first formal step in patent dispute resolution and can be instrumental in achieving compliance without court intervention. The document's effectiveness depends on accurate identification of infringement, clear presentation of legal rights, and specific demands for remedial action.
