Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a registered trademark to send a cease and desist letter?

No. If you have been using a mark in commerce, you may have common-law trademark rights even without federal registration. A registered mark gives you stronger legal standing, but unregistered marks can still be protected.

Is a cease and desist letter legally binding?

The letter itself is not a court order, but it creates a formal record that the infringer was put on notice. This matters significantly if you later file a lawsuit, as willful infringement after notice carries higher statutory damages.

What is the difference between a DMCA takedown and a trademark cease and desist?

A DMCA takedown addresses copyright infringement, meaning copying your creative work. A trademark cease and desist addresses unauthorized use of your brand name, logo, or slogan in a way that causes consumer confusion. They operate under different laws and you may need both in some situations.

What happens if the infringer ignores the letter?

You can escalate by filing a complaint with the relevant platform (Amazon Brand Registry, eBay VeRO, Etsy IP reporting), initiating a UDRP domain dispute via WIPO, or commencing litigation in federal court. The cease and desist letter you sent becomes documented evidence.
