The Cease-and-Desist Letter
that Up-Ended a Single Mom's Business
Teri had been in business for 10 years when she received a cease-and-desist letter that changed everything.
It said, among other things:
​
"It appears you began your branding process without consulting a trademark attorney. Consequently, you bypassed your due diligence and are now facing the legal consequences of that."
​
She got some bad legal advice elsewhere and ended up giving up all her rights to her name. She lost her brand name and had to rebrand her entire business.
​
Don't let this happen to you. ​

Protecting Intellectual Property
from Copycats
After working for over a year to perfect a sales funnel for her coaching business, Grace discovered that another coach had copied her entire funnel.
After learning about her rights, Grace was able to legally protect her valuable intellectual property, enabling her to send a cease-and-desist letter that meant business.
This stopped the copycat in their tracks.

​
We helped Jeremy resolve the dispute for a tiny fraction of the original demand.
