Document background
A Cease And Desist Letter Copyright Infringement is a crucial legal tool used in Austria when copyright holders discover unauthorized use of their protected works. This document serves as a formal notice under Austrian copyright law (Urheberrechtsgesetz) and relevant EU directives, typically sent before initiating legal proceedings. It's used when there's clear evidence of copyright infringement and the rights holder wants to stop the unauthorized use quickly and formally. The letter must comply with Austrian legal requirements and include specific elements such as clear identification of the copyrighted work, details of the infringement, demands for cessation, and deadlines for compliance. This document is particularly important in the Austrian legal system as it often serves as a prerequisite for further legal action and demonstrates the sender's attempt to resolve the matter amicably before court proceedings.
