IP Services has years of experience running warning letter and cease & desist programs. We can issue electronic or paper notices and follow up with all steps required to document that notice was delivered.
Warning Letters:
Warning letters can be sent to distributors who seem to be distributing or selling your product incorrectly. If you have redistribution agreements or agreed upon pricing levels with resellers, a warning letter might be the right message to send if a reseller seems to stray from the agreement. A warning letter can be friendly, educational and open a channel of communication, preventing future problems.
Cease and Desist Notices:
A cease and desist letter might be issued when you have evidence that fraud, breach of contract and/or intellectual property violations are taking place. Serving notice lets the recipient know you are serious about protecting your company and that you will consider any future infringements to be willful. This can be a valuable step to show a court how you tried to resolve a conflict before turning to an escalated legal recourse.
