Frequently asked questions
- What is a Cease and Desist Letter?
- A Cease and Desist letter is a formal legal demand sent to an individual or business requesting that they immediately stop an alleged illegal activity (such as copyright infringement, trademark violation, slander/defamation, or harassment) and refrain from engaging in it in the future, warning of imminent litigation if they fail to comply.
- Does a Cease and Desist letter have legal effect?
- Yes. While it is not a court order itself, it serves as crucial legal evidence demonstrating that the infringer had actual formal notice of their unlawful conduct. In intellectual property litigation, proving prior notice can establish 'willful infringement', entitling the copyright or trademark owner to statutory damages up to $150,000 and attorney's fees.
- What is a litigation hold / evidence preservation demand?
- A litigation hold instruction in a Cease and Desist notice puts the recipient on legal notice to preserve all relevant digital files, logs, emails, and financial records. Destroying evidence after receiving a notice can lead to severe court sanctions for spoliation of evidence.
