$497.00

This course was originally taught back in 2019 and is being re-taught live for CLE credit now! Please mark your calendar for the below date to tune in. Even if you participated in the previous version, this Live Re-teach will be tons of new material on this topic!

Sonia and Erik are back! We've had a huge demand for this class and we finally made it happen. Most of us can file an application, deal with Office Actions, and get the mark to registration. But what happens when there is an infringer afterward? Or even before? Even if you aren't a litigator, we should all be equipped with the skill set to send and respond to a trademark infringement cease and desist letter. Sometimes you may even need to send one. We've got you covered either way.

This training includes:

Investigation of the infringement
The importance of priority (dates, use, etc.)
Mechanics of letter-sending – who to send to, where to send, how to send, etc.
Sending a cease and desist letter: Essential terms and sections
Responding to a cease and desist: Essential terms and sections
Tone and word choice (beware of the Streisand Effect)
Demands: What is fair and reasonable
What comes next (negotiation, follow-up, etc.)
Bonus: Responding to template copyright infringement claims

Of course, you knew there would be a workbook too!* Included with your purchase is a workbook featuring over 47 example letters (!!) ranging from amicable to aggressive in nature, covering trademarks, copyrights, AND design patents. Wowzas. I

PLUS...we've armed you with a huge checklist of issues and considerations for: 1) When you are sending; and 2) when you've received one.
