Cease and Desist Letters in California

Focused cease and desist letters representation by Sari Law Firm. Part of our Intellectual Property practice. Free consultation, transparent pricing, and clear communication at every step.

What is Cease and Desist Letters?

A cease and desist letter is a formal written demand that another party stop infringing your trademark, using your intellectual property without authorization, or engaging in unfair competition. It puts the infringer on notice, creates a written record, and is typically the first step before litigation. For trademark matters, a well-drafted cease and desist letter can resolve the dispute without court involvement.

When you might need this service

  • You have discovered someone using a mark that is confusingly similar to your registered or common-law trademark.
  • A competitor is using your brand name, logo, or trade dress in advertising, on products, or online.
  • A domain name is registered in bad faith using your trademark (cybersquatting).
  • You received a cease and desist letter and need to evaluate whether to comply, negotiate, or contest it.

How Sari Law Firm helps

We draft cease and desist letters that are firm, legally grounded, and calibrated to the situation. Each letter states your rights, identifies the infringing conduct, demands specific corrective action, and sets a response deadline. We advise on tone and escalation strategy: some situations call for a direct demand, others for an opening to negotiate. If the letter does not resolve the matter, we move to TTAB proceedings or federal litigation. We also evaluate and respond to cease and desist letters you receive, advising on risk, options, and the realistic cost of each path.
