Our trademark, [Your Trademark Name], is registered with the [Trademark Office, e.g., U.S. Patent and Trademark Office] under Registration Number [Trademark Registration Number]. We have been using this trademark in commerce since [Date of First Use]. A copy of our trademark registration certificate is attached for your reference. It has come to our attention that you are using [Infringing Mark/Phrase] in connection with [Description of Infringing Goods/Services], which is confusingly similar to our trademark. Your unauthorized use of this mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception among consumers as to the origin, sponsorship, or endorsement of your goods/services. Your actions constitute trademark infringement under [Relevant Law, e.g., the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114] and common law. We demand that you immediately cease and desist from all unauthorized use of our trademark, or any confusingly similar mark, including but not limited to: 1. Discontinuing the use of [Infringing Mark/Phrase] on all products, services, marketing materials, websites, and social media. 2. Removing all infringing materials from public display and distribution. 3. Transferring any domain names or social media handles incorporating our trademark to us. We require a written assurance within 10 days of the date of this letter that you will comply with these demands. Failure to comply will leave us with no alternative but to pursue all available legal remedies, including seeking injunctive relief, monetary damages, and attorney's fees. We prefer to resolve this matter amicably. However, we are prepared to take all necessary legal action to protect our valuable intellectual property rights. Sincerely, [Your Printed Name/Company Representative's Name]
