In Chile, a design cease and desist letter sets out your registered rights, compares the overall appearance against the copy, and demands the copying stop within a defined period. Because your design was already substantively examined for novelty before grant, there's no separate enforceability hurdle to clear before sending it.
The longer a copy stays on the market, the more it can erode your product's distinctiveness and sales. Brealant helps you act quickly and professionally, confirming your registration is in order before we act.
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 a Court Order
A letter has no binding legal force on its own — it's a demand, not an injunction.
Risk of Overreach
An unsupported or overreaching letter can create risk of a counterclaim, including a challenge to your design's novelty.
Limited to the Named Party
A letter addresses one infringer at a time; it doesn't stop unrelated third parties.
Term Still Applies
A cease and desist letter doesn't extend your design's fixed, non-renewable 10-year term.
Brealant reviews your design rights carefully before sending anything, to keep your position strong.
