Seattle Trademark Cease and Desist Attorney
A trademark cease-and-desist letter can resolve a conflict early—or escalate it unnecessarily. We help clients send and respond to trademark demand letters with a clear view of risk, leverage, and realistic business outcomes, including situations involving marketplace listings, online advertising, and common-law trademark claims.
The best response depends on the actual strength of the marks, how they are used, and what the sender is trying to achieve. We help clients evaluate options such as negotiated changes, disclaimers, phased transitions, coexistence terms, or a firm defense when the demand overreaches.
Use the chatbot to understand C&D strategy, defenses, and settlement options
If you’re still evaluating your options, try our custom (experimental) RAG chatbot for general educational information about trademark cease-and-desist disputes—such as how likelihood of confusion is analyzed, common defenses and counterarguments, what a coexistence deal can include, and when litigation or TTAB proceedings become likely. The chatbot provides general information only and does not offer case-specific legal advice. When you are ready to discuss your specific letter and objectives, you can schedule a meeting with Mitchell.
