The Legal Risk Score of a Cease and Desist (Trademark Infringement) Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document does not specify the exact number of days within which the recipient must cease and desist, which could lead to uncertainties in enforcement timelines.
- The letter mentions a trademark infringement but does not clearly identify the specific trademarks involved, potentially leading to confusion about the exact nature of the infringement.
- While the letter mentions infringement and potential violation of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth), it does not detail the possible legal consequences or actions that could follow if the recipient fails to comply, which might not fully inform the recipient of the seriousness of the situation.
