Protecting Your Brand with Brealant's Expertise

Legal Definition of a Cease & Desist Letter
A cease and desist letter, often sent as a carta notarial, formally notifies another party that their use of a mark infringes your registered rights under Decision 486.
Purpose and Function of the Letter
It demands the infringing use stop within a set timeframe, and is typically the first step in enforcement, before any INDECOPI or court action.
Protecting Your Brand
Acting promptly on infringement signals that you actively protect your rights, and often resolves the matter without further escalation.

Clear, Simple Steps to Stop Infringing Use

In Peru, a cease and desist letter sets out your registered trademark rights, describes the infringing use, and demands it stop within a defined period. A clear, well-evidenced letter is often enough to resolve the matter without escalating to a formal INDECOPI infringement complaint.

Safeguarding Your Brand in Peru — With Brealant by Your Side

Delaying enforcement can weaken your position and allow the infringing use to become more established, and more damaging to your brand. Brealant helps you act quickly and professionally to protect your rights.

Limitations

What a Cease & Desist Letter Cannot Guarantee

A letter is often effective, but it has real limits

No Guaranteed Compliance
The recipient may ignore or dispute the letter, requiring further action.
Not an Order
A letter has no binding legal force on its own — it's a demand, not an injunction or an INDECOPI ruling.
Risk of Overreach
An unsupported or overreaching letter can create risk of a counterclaim.
Doesn't Fix Registration Gaps
If your own rights aren't registered or well-evidenced, the letter carries less weight.
Limited to the Named Party
A letter addresses one infringer at a time; it doesn't stop unrelated third parties.

Brealant reviews your rights carefully before sending anything, to keep your position strong.

What a Cease & Desist Letter Protects

A well-prepared letter protects several interests at once

Your Exclusive Rights
Your legal entitlement to control use of your registered mark.
Your Market Position
Preventing customer confusion and dilution caused by a similar mark in the market.
Your Evidence Trail
A documented record showing you actively enforce your rights, useful if further action is later needed before INDECOPI.
Your Brand Reputation
Stopping use that could be lower-quality or otherwise damaging to your brand's reputation.

Brealant makes sure your letter is firm, accurate, and legally sound before it's sent.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A registered trademark strengthens your position considerably, but rights built through genuine use, or a well-known mark, can also support a letter in some circumstances.

What if the other party ignores the letter?

Brealant will advise on further options, which can include an INDECOPI infringement complaint, mediation, or civil proceedings.

Could sending a letter expose me to a counterclaim?

A poorly evidenced or overreaching letter can create risk, which is why Brealant reviews your rights carefully before sending anything.

How quickly can Brealant send a cease and desist letter?

Typically within a few business days of receiving your instructions and supporting evidence.

Can this be used against online sellers as well as businesses?

Yes, though for marketplace listings a takedown request direct to the platform is often faster — we can advise on the best combination of approaches.

Can a cease and desist letter be sent based on an unregistered mark in Peru?

It's possible if you can show well-known mark status or prior use creating unfair competition, but a registered mark gives you a much stronger, more direct legal basis.

What should a Peruvian cease and desist letter typically include?

A description of your rights, the specific infringing conduct, the requested actions (stop use, destroy stock, etc.), and a response deadline, tailored to the recipient and the evidence available.

Is sending a cease and desist letter a required step before filing an infringement action?

No, it's not a legal prerequisite in Peru, but it's usually a faster and cheaper first move that often resolves the matter without formal proceedings.

What if the infringer is based outside Peru but selling into the Peruvian market?

We can still send a cease and desist letter targeting the Peruvian sales activity, and coordinate with foreign counsel if further action is needed in the infringer's home country.

Can the letter be sent in English, or does it need to be in Spanish?

We draft in Spanish, since that ensures the letter is unambiguous and enforceable if the matter later proceeds to INDECOPI or the courts.
