CEASE & DESIST REVIEW + RESPONSE sTRATEGY

We begin by reviewing the cease and desist letter in detail to understand the specific allegations, the intellectual property being asserted, and any deadlines or demands that are included. This includes identifying the patents cited, the claims alleged to be infringed, and the overall tone and intent of the correspondence, whether it appears informational, aggressive, or a precursor to litigation.

We review the claims of up to two cited patents to evaluate how they relate to your product or service. This review focuses on the scope of the asserted claims, how those claims are being interpreted by the patent owner, and whether the claims appear to cover the accused features. The objective is to assess infringement risk at a practical and strategic level rather than through a full litigation analysis.

Based on the patent review and an understanding of your product or service, we assess the likelihood that the asserted claims could reasonably be alleged to be infringed. This includes identifying clear areas of non-overlap, potential points of dispute, and factual or technical issues that would be central to any enforcement effort. The result is a realistic view of exposure rather than worst-case assumptions.

We determine an appropriate response strategy tailored to your business goals and risk tolerance. Depending on the circumstances, this may include deciding not to respond, preparing a measured business response, asserting non-infringement positions, seeking clarification from the other party, or positioning the matter for negotiation. Where appropriate, this service may include attorney calls, emails, and the drafting of a response letter addressing the infringement allegations.

If relevant, we may conduct a targeted invalidity assessment to determine whether the cited patents are likely to be enforceable. This may involve identifying obvious prior art issues or public disclosures that weaken the asserted claims. Any invalidity review is performed at a level appropriate to the circumstances and may inform both the response strategy and the tone of any correspondence.
