Svetlana Koroliova, Director and Patent Attorney at LEXPATENT LLC, was a speaker at the seminar ‘Intellectual Property and Sustainable Development Goals: Innovation and Creativity for the Benefit of the Common Future’.

On 23 April 2024, Minsk hosted a seminar dedicated to World Intellectual Property Day. The seminar was organised by the World Intellectual Property Organisation, the State Committee on Science and Technology and the National Centre of Intellectual Property.

 Svetlana Koroliova, Director, Patent Attorney and Eurasian Patent Attorney at LEXPATENT LLC, delivered a talk at the seminar on ‘Cease-and-Desist Letters as a Tool for Interaction Between the Right Holder and an Alleged Infringer of Exclusive Rights’.

 Svetlana outlined the major advantages of cease-and-desist letters as a tool of pre-trial dispute resolution, the risks of sending a poorly crafted letter, etc. A key consideration was given to the recommendations regarding the right tone of the letter.

 The key takeaway from the talk was a checklist that would help you to draft a really effective cease-and-desist letter and resolve a dispute without resorting to legal action.
