Using Cease-and-Desist Letters To Stop Copyright or Trademark Infringement. Cease-and-desist letters, often referred to as demand letters, are a valuable tool in defending your intellectual property rights, including copyrights and trademarks.
To show that another artist, creative or company used your work without your permission, gather evidence of what you believe is the infringement. This is anything proving your work was accessible and used without your permission, for example screenshots or photographs of the unauthorised use.
There are defences of “fair dealing” for the purpose of research, private study, criticism or for reporting current events. Fair dealing covers non-commercial research and private study, criticism review and the reporting current events. If the part of the work taken is not substantial, there is no infringement.
You can file legal proceedings either through the Intellectual Property Office ( IPO ) or through the courts. Some types of proceedings can only be filed through one or the other. For example, copyright infringement claims can only be filed through the courts.
To make a cease and desist letter effective, you must identify what the unlawful activity is. You must also state what the action is that you will take and the consequences if your letter is ignored and/or the recipient fails to comply.
