    Q regarding Cease and Desist letter

    I recently received a letter for one of my mainstream sites. The company requested that we removed their logos from one of our landers. We immediately removed the image from our server, I'm just wondering in this case if I still am obligated to notify the company in writing or best to just leave it at that.

    The part of the letter i'm referring to is
    1. Immediately and permanently refrain from any use of Company?s Proprietary Content, including artwork;

    2. Notify Company in writing within the next two (2) weeks that item 1 has been completed.

      They can insist you stand on your head, doesn't mean you are legally obligated to do it.

      Cease and desist letters are just letters.

          Why are you dealing with it?

          Just refer it to your lawyer, and have them deal with it. I am not saying you can't be proactive, and remove something if you feel you are in the wrong. However, when it comes to legal threats and bullshit, just send to the lawyer(s). That is what you pay them for.

                  lol, They are also the mandatory first step that must be taken before you get your ass sued off. Good advise.

                              Just remove it. Don't reply it's an acknowledgement that you were supposedly doing wrong.

                                  You're not legally OBLIGATED to notify them, but perhaps you were obligated to refrain from using their logo in the first place. "Sure, no problem" isn't an admission of wrongdoing, is polite, and MIGHT get them to put your information in circular file.

                                  On the other hand, it migjt put you in the "responded, continue to engage" stack. I world ask you what you were using the logo for, but it's probably best that you not post that publicly. One day your attorney may need to choose how to describe your use.

                                      Never admit your wrong. Remove it move on.
