Legal analysis
Likelihood of confusion under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) [VERIFY]: similarity, relatedness, channels, consumer sophistication, intent, actual confusion. Add dilution under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c) [VERIFY] only if mark qualifies as famous.
5
Demands
Permanent cessation across all channels (packaging, web, social, domains, marketplaces, email, advertising). 10–15 business-day cure window unless user specifies otherwise.
6
Remedies warning
Injunctive relief (15 U.S.C. § 1116 [VERIFY]), damages/profits/fees (15 U.S.C. § 1117(a) [VERIFY]), and reservation of all rights.
7
Response mechanics
Deadline, contact method, required documents: written cure confirmation, removal screenshots, destruction certificate, distributor notices, revenue/unit-sales accounting for infringing period.
Drafting Rules
Use only verified facts; no vague threats or unsupported conclusions.
Tone: firm, professional. No coercive, extortionate, or inflammatory language.
Registered marks: cite constructive-notice presumptions and class-specific scope [VERIFY].
Preemptively rebut apparent defenses (descriptive fair use, nominative use, prior use, geographic limits) with evidence-based reasoning when facts support it.
Include governing-law clause; flag cross-border complexity and advise local counsel for foreign use [VERIFY].
Common Pitfalls
Omitting exhibit references — every infringement allegation must cite specific evidence.
Claiming dilution for non-famous marks — dilution requires fame; omit if not established.
Vague demands — specify exact channels, formats, and proof required for compliance.
Missing accounting demand — always require written revenue/profit accounting for the infringing period.
Temporary language — all demands must be permanent, not temporary.
