An Intellectual Property Cease And Desist Letter is a crucial legal instrument used in Malaysia when intellectual property rights are being infringed upon. This document serves as a formal first step in enforcing IP rights before initiating court proceedings, demonstrating the rights holder's serious intention to protect their intellectual property. It is typically used when there is clear evidence of unauthorized use of copyrighted materials, trademarks, patents, or other protected IP rights. The letter must comply with Malaysian IP legislation, including the Copyright Act 1987, Patents Act 1983, and Trade Marks Act 2019, among others. It should clearly identify the IP rights being infringed, provide evidence of ownership, detail the infringing activities, and make specific demands for cessation. This document is often used to achieve compliance without the need for costly litigation, though it also serves to document formal notification of infringement if legal action becomes necessary.
