Cease & Desist Letter
Found a business using a name, logo, or slogan that infringes on your trademark? We help draft and send an attorney-reviewed cease-and-desist letter asking the infringing party to stop.
Covers letter drafting and sending. This is a formal first step, not a guaranteed resolution.
A formal first step, backed by attorney review
When you spot a business using a name, logo, or slogan that looks too close to your registered or pending trademark, a cease-and-desist letter is often the first formal step toward resolving it. We start by reviewing what you've found, your trademark's status, and how the infringing use compares to your mark, before drafting a letter tailored to your situation.
Every letter is reviewed by an independent, U.S.-licensed attorney before it goes out. We then send it to the infringing party on your behalf. A letter can prompt a business to stop, but it doesn't compel them to; how they respond is ultimately up to them, and we'll talk through what options are available depending on what happens next.
