Document background
The Patent Infringement Cease and Desist Letter is a crucial initial step in enforcing patent rights under Belgian law. This document is typically used when a patent holder has identified unauthorized use, manufacture, sale, or importation of their patented invention. The letter must comply with Belgian legal requirements and may reference both national and EU patent regulations. It serves multiple purposes: formally documenting the patent holder's awareness of infringement, demanding immediate cessation of infringing activities, and establishing a paper trail for potential court proceedings. The document should contain detailed technical descriptions of the infringement, clear demands, and response deadlines, while maintaining a professional tone that could support future litigation if necessary. As a formal legal notice, it must be carefully drafted to ensure enforceability within the Belgian legal system and compatibility with EU patent enforcement mechanisms.
