Document background
A Cease And Desist Letter For Use Of Photos is a crucial legal instrument in the Indian intellectual property rights framework, primarily used when unauthorized use of copyrighted photographic work is discovered. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence of copyright infringement, such as unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or public display of photographs without the rights holder's permission. It operates under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, and the Information Technology Act, 2000, providing a formal mechanism to demand immediate cessation of infringing activities. The letter should be used as soon as infringement is discovered, as delayed action might impact the rights holder's legal position. It serves both as a formal warning and as documentation of the copyright holder's attempt to protect their rights before pursuing more severe legal remedies through the Indian judicial system.
