KEYTLaw Fixed Fee Domain Name Cease & Desist Letter

Effective August 27, 2001

KEYTLaw prefers to provide legal services on a fixed fee basis. KEYTLaw will prepare and send a cease & desist letter to registrants (owners) of domain names that infringe on a single federally registered trademark or service mark for a legal fixed fee of $495 for each registrant, payable in advance, plus associated costs such as certified mailing fees and overnight delivery fees.

Mark owners can send a cease & desist letter to infringing domain name owners on the mark owner's letterhead. See Sample Domain Name Cease & Desist Letter. However, KEYTLaw believes that a cease & desist letter from a lawyer has a much greater chance for a successful outcome than a letter from a mark owner. It is very common for owners of infringing domain names who have limited financial resources to comply fully with a lawyer's cease & desist demand letter alleging violations of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. See KEYTLaw FAQ: The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of 1999. These domain name owners realize that defending a lawsuit or an arbitration proceeding could be very costly.

Another reason for a mark owner to hire KEYTLaw to prepare and send a domain name cease & desist letter is that KEYTLaw's letter includes a formal Settlement Agreement for the parties to sign that includes provisions governing: (i) the transfer of the domain names, (ii) a covenant of the infringer to sign and deliver an Assignment of Domain Name (in the form of an exhibit attached to the Settlement Agreement) to the mark owner, (iii) a covenant to cease & desist from further infringement, and (iv) a release of the infringer from the mark owner's claims arising from use of the infringing domain name after the infringing domain name has been transferred. A prudent infringer will want a release of claims as part of an agreement to transfer a domain name.

KEYTLaw sends cease & desist letters for a fixed fee of $495 per registrant. If the registrant has five infringing domain names, the fee is $495, but if there are three domain names owned by three different registrants, the fee for three letters is $1,485.
