What's a domain name cease and desist letter?

A registered trademark helps to identify your brand and your company to your customers. When someone else uses that name, logo, or, in this case, domain name, it creates confusion among your customers and could weaken your brand recognition. The first step in defending that trademark and reaffirming its identification with your business is with a domain name cease and desist letter. Protect your trademark by putting a stop to infringement on your domain name.
