C&D Notices (Cease and Desist Notices)

A C&D Notice, or Cease and Desist Notice, is a formal document sent to someone requesting them to stop a specific activity that is harming or infringing on another party’s rights. It acts as a warning that legal action may follow if the activity continues. These notices are often used in cases of copyright or trademark infringement, harassment, or other violations. The purpose is to provide clear communication and give the recipient an opportunity to stop the activity before more serious legal steps are pursued.
