Pre-litigation enforcement: website takedown for trademark and copyright infringement in Ukraine

Client: a world-renowned organization in the film industry, owner of one of the most recognizable brands in the entertainment sector.

Challenge

A Ukrainian business was operating a website that used the client’s trademark and copyrighted materials without authorization. The site leveraged the reputation of the famous brand to attract an audience, creating a risk of consumer confusion and causing reputational harm to the rights holder.

Our approach

We prepared and sent a comprehensive cease-and-desist letter identifying specific trademark and copyright infringements, setting out clear demands for the removal of all infringing content, and outlining the legal consequences of non-compliance.

Outcome

The infringer fully complied with the demands and took down the website entirely. The infringement was terminated without court proceedings, saving the client the time and expense of litigation in Ukraine
