Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter Business Name is a crucial legal instrument in India's intellectual property protection framework. It is typically used when a business discovers unauthorized use of its trade name or a deceptively similar name by another entity. The document combines elements of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and the Companies Act, 2013, to establish the sender's rights and demand immediate cessation of infringing activities. This type of letter is particularly important in India's rapidly growing business environment, where brand protection is crucial. The letter must include specific details about the rights holder's claim, evidence of prior use or registration, detailed description of the infringement, and clear demands for action. It serves both as a formal warning and as documentary evidence of the rights holder's attempt to protect their intellectual property rights before pursuing litigation.
