We received a Cease & Desist letter because of trademark infringement. Any advice? We were thinking of hiring a lawyer but any idea how much will this cost? Also, lawyer recommendation?

  • You can get a quote on upcounsel.com

  • Perkins coie -- our legal partner -- has a strong IP practice and might be able to give you a pro bono consultation

  • It may cost $1-5k if it's handled by someone who knows what they're doing. it all depends on how aggressive the threatening company is, whether they like to sue, lots of factors about how similar your business is, etc. If things get really out of hand costs can go up to $25-50k but that is only if you get yourself into a lawsuit. Usually a small startup can get out of a C&D for $1-5k though because the other company knows you don't really have any money. Of course this is just general info, not specific advice, it depends on each case, etc.ย
