SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly draft a UK IP cease-and-desist letter in send mode or triage an incoming one into a structured options memo in receive mode, while surfacing key UK-specific risks like the unjustified threats regime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-mode workflow (send/receive): Draft a demand letter calibrated to enforcement posture, or analyze a received C&D and recommend next steps.
  • Guardrails and approvals: Loads the practice profile, checks matter workspace settings, performs required counterparty diligence, and runs a pre-delivery “loud gate” before producing a draft ready for sending.
  • IP-right and exposure analysis: Guides right identification (trade mark, copyright, patents, passing off), conduct specificity, demand calibration, and tailored options based on plausibility and overbreadth.
  • Unjustified threats risk handling (UK): Flags secondary-actor recipients and escalates to outside counsel when drafting could create unjustified threats exposure.
  • Marketplace parallel-path guidance: For marketplace-based infringements, points to platform reporting routes (e.g., Amazon/eBay/Etsy) as a faster parallel track.

Quick Start

Send mode: Use the command /ip-legal-uk:cease-desist --send, then answer the prompted questions to produce a gated draft letter based on your enforcement posture.
