Response
We advise on next steps based on the response received — negotiation, further correspondence, or formal action.
In the United Kingdom, 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.
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, whether they're registered or built through use alone.
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 groundless threats claim under UK law.
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.
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.

This is one of the fastest enforcement tools available
Instruction
You provide details and evidence of the infringing use.
Review
Brealant confirms your rights and assesses the strength of the claim.
Drafting
We prepare a letter tailored to the specific infringement.
Sending
The letter is sent with a clear response deadline.
Brealant can typically prepare and send a cease and desist letter within a few business days of receiving instructions and evidence.
This is a professional service rather than a government filing
There is no government fee for a cease and desist letter.
Brealant offers this as a fixed-fee service so you know the cost upfront before we act.
Fixed pricing means you can act quickly without worrying about open-ended costs.
A registered trademark strengthens your position considerably, but rights built through use can also support a letter under the law of passing off in some circumstances.
Brealant will advise on further options, which can include escalation, mediation, or formal legal proceedings.
UK law allows a recipient to bring a 'groundless threats' claim against an overreaching letter, which is why Brealant reviews your rights carefully before sending anything.
Yes, though for marketplace listings a takedown notice direct to the platform is often faster — we can advise on the best combination of approaches.
Typically within a few business days of receiving your instructions and supporting evidence.
Yes, many disputes resolve this way — a well-drafted letter often opens negotiations that end in a coexistence agreement rather than escalating further.
We typically need your registration details or evidence of unregistered rights, along with proof of the infringing use, such as screenshots, product listings, or samples.
No, it's a formal warning rather than a binding order — it puts the recipient on notice and sets out what will happen if the conduct continues, but only a court can compel compliance.
Yes, we regularly send letters to overseas infringers, and can coordinate with local counsel where enforcement in that country becomes necessary.
Depending on the response, Brealant will advise on escalation, which can include mediation, a takedown notice, or formal proceedings before the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court.
