Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter Intellectual Property is a crucial legal instrument used in the Netherlands when intellectual property rights are being infringed. It operates within the framework of Dutch civil law and EU regulations, serving as a formal demand to stop unauthorized use of protected intellectual property. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence of IP infringement and before initiating court proceedings, demonstrating the rights holder's serious intention to protect their IP rights. The letter must comply with Dutch legal requirements and often references relevant sections of the Dutch Civil Code, Copyright Act, or other applicable IP legislation. It's an essential tool for IP rights enforcement, particularly in cases where immediate action is required to prevent further damage to the rights holder's interests.
