Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter IP Infringement is a crucial legal instrument within the Australian legal framework, designed to protect intellectual property rights holders from unauthorized use of their protected works, marks, or innovations. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence of IP infringement and the rights holder wishes to halt the infringing activity without immediate court intervention. It serves as both a formal notification of rights and a demand for specific actions, while also establishing a paper trail for potential future litigation. The letter must comply with Australian intellectual property laws, including the Copyright Act 1968, Trade Marks Act 1995, Patents Act 1990, and other relevant legislation. It's particularly important as part of the pre-litigation process and demonstrates the rights holder's attempt to resolve the matter before pursuing court action.
