Review and preparation of a cease and desist letter regarding trade secret infringement.

Law firm Veat received a request from IT development and supply company A (hereinafter referred to as "Client") to review and draft a notice of infringement of trade secrets.

The Client confirmed that its trade secrets were being infringed by the other party and entrusted Veat, an IT-specialized law firm, to request a response. Veat IT advisory team immediately examined the possibility of trade secret infringement and drafted a notice to send to the other party for swift response.

In particular, Veat IT advisory team included a detailed explanation of the trade secret infringement act in the notice, along with a request for immediate cessation of the infringement. Furthermore, it warned that all civil and criminal measures would be taken if the other party did not respond to the notice, establishing a thorough legal analysis and strategy to protect the Client's rights and swiftly stop the infringement.

How should a notice be sent?

You can find many templates and guidelines for notice contents on the internet. Generally, it includes facts and acknowledgement of liability for infringing on my rights, a request to cease infringement and take appropriate measures such as settlement money, and a request to respond by a specific deadline.

If the other party does not admit fault or a settlement is not reached, you must decide whether to let it go or pursue legal proceedings. If you proceed with legal proceedings, there are two options: filing a criminal complaint and filing a civil lawsuit, and you can also pursue both.

If the other party's actions are deemed a crime under the Criminal Law, you can report the matter to the police or prosecution and file a criminal complaint. You can also file a civil lawsuit requesting a cease-and-desist order or damages for the action.

Therefore, if you recognize a trade secret infringement, it is important to receive support from a legal expert and carefully examine how you can legally respond to the matter.

Law firm Veat officially warned the other party regarding the infringement of the IT development company's hard-earned "know-how/trade secrets" through the rapid dispatch of a notice, and prepared effective legal measures to prevent further damage.

Based on our expertise and experience with numerous corporate legal issues, Law firm Veat will protect our Client’s rights and provide the optimal solution.
