IP CEASE AND DESIST LETTERS: MINIMIZING DECLARATORY JUDGMENT RISKS

February 12, 2018

While cease and desist letters are useful and cost-effective tools to enforce intellectual property rights, they are not without potential pitfalls. The most overlooked risk is being subjected to a declaratory judgment action in an unfavorable forum. Under the current law, the threshold for triggering declaratory judgment jurisdiction is low.
