Clear, Simple Steps to Stop Infringing Use

In Thailand, a cease and desist letter sets out your 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 formal proceedings before the courts.

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 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.

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.

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 in Thailand?

A registered trademark strengthens your position considerably, but common-law rights built through use 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 escalation, mediation, or formal civil or criminal 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.

Is trademark infringement a criminal matter in Thailand?

Yes, in addition to civil remedies, the Trademark Act provides for criminal penalties for infringement, which can support a firmer enforcement approach where appropriate.

How quickly can Brealant send a cease and desist letter?

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

How much does it cost to send a cease and desist letter in Thailand?

Brealant charges a fixed fee for drafting and sending a letter, which we'll confirm once we've reviewed your rights and the infringement.

What information do you need to prepare a cease and desist letter?

Evidence of your trademark rights (registration details or proof of use), and evidence of the infringing activity, such as photos, listings, or samples.

How is a cease and desist letter different from a takedown notice?

A cease and desist letter is sent directly to the infringer demanding they stop, while a takedown notice is submitted to a platform (marketplace, social media, or registrar) asking them to remove the listing directly.

Can Brealant send a cease and desist letter to an infringer based outside Thailand?

Yes, we can send letters to infringers anywhere, though enforceability and next steps if ignored will depend on where the recipient is located.

What if the recipient responds to the letter?

We'll advise on next steps, which can include negotiating a coexistence agreement, settlement, or licence, or proceeding to formal action if the response is unsatisfactory.
