CEASE AND DESIST LETTERS

Once it is discovered through the Trademark Monitoring Services or otherwise that your trademark is being used by an unauthorized party, it is crucial to quickly put the offending party on notice of the infringement.These letters are often the first step in enforcing trademark rights without going directly to court. They can be an effective and inexpensive way to resolve the issue informally and to protect the trademark from dilution or loss of distinctiveness. A trademark cease and desist letter is a formal pre-litigation correspondence demanding that the recipient stop infringing on a registered or common law trademark. These letters outline the trademark owner's rights, details the infringement, and demands the cessation of all infringing activities. 

The Colibri Firm can not only monitor your trademarks but can also prepare and serve cease and desist letters on an infringing party. It is important to have an experienced attorney prepare this letter to avoid overreach and to ensure accuracy of your trademark rights, trademark laws, infringing activities. The Colibri Firm will handle all communications with the offending party or their lawyer regarding the infringement and will provide you with a final analysis and recommendation for litigation if needed.
