Document background
The Trademark Infringement Warning Letter is a crucial initial step in protecting intellectual property rights in Malaysia. It is typically used when a trademark owner discovers unauthorized use of their mark or a confusingly similar mark in the Malaysian market. This document, governed by the Trademarks Act 2019 and related Malaysian legislation, serves as formal notice to the alleged infringer and often prevents the need for immediate court action. The letter should be carefully drafted to include specific details of trademark ownership, clear evidence of infringement, and explicit demands for cessation, while maintaining a professional tone that leaves room for amicable resolution. It's an essential tool in trademark enforcement strategy, particularly in Malaysia's rapidly evolving commercial landscape where brand protection is increasingly important.
