SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you draft a risk-appropriate cease-and-desist letter for IP enforcement or triage one you receive, producing attorney-ready outputs with required gates and approvals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two operational modes: send-mode drafting calibrated to your enforcement posture, and receive-mode triage that generates an options memo and recommendation.
  • Practice-profile and matter context loading: uses your configured IP practice profile (including enforcement posture, approval matrix, and output rules) and optionally matter workspace overrides.
  • Safety and routing guardrails: enforces a pre-delivery “loud gate,” requires counterparty diligence before drafting, and escalates to outside counsel when the practice profile indicates you should not draft.
  • Jurisdiction and IP-scope flags: surfaces jurisdiction assumptions (e.g., trademark territoriality) and flags mismatches before drafting.

Quick Start

From the command line, run: /ip-legal:cease-desist --send to generate an attorney-review draft of a cease-and-desist letter, using your configured enforcement posture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft an IP cease and desist letter for trademark or copyright enforcement?

Triage an inbound cease and desist letter by using receive-mode to generate an options memo. This process evaluates the IP claims, identifies marketplace conduct parallel-paths, and produces a recommendation for your response strategy.

What is the process for triaging a received cease and desist letter?

Triage an inbound cease and desist letter by using receive-mode to generate an options memo. This process evaluates the IP claims, identifies marketplace conduct parallel-paths, and produces a recommendation for your response strategy.

Does drafting a trademark cease and desist letter require jurisdiction assumptions?

Yes, drafting a trademark cease and desist letter requires jurisdiction assumptions such as trademark territoriality. The system surfaces these jurisdiction assumptions and flags any mismatches before drafting the letter.

Can I use my own IP practice profile and matter overrides for cease and desist workflows?

You can use your configured IP practice profile including enforcement posture and approval matrix, alongside optional matter workspace overrides. The system loads this context to calibrate the cease and desist drafting and triage outputs.

When should I escalate a cease and desist letter to outside counsel?

You should escalate a cease and desist letter to outside counsel when your loaded practice profile indicates you should not draft. The system enforces this routing guardrail and a pre-delivery loud gate to ensure compliance.
