Can sending a cease-and-desist letter land you in court across the country? In this episode of The Briefing, Scott Hervey and Richard D. Buckley, Jr. break down a major Eleventh Circuit decision involving the Frida Kahlo brand and the risks tied to aggressive IP enforcement.

In this episode, they cover:

  • When cease-and-desist letters cross the line into tortious conduct
  • How the corporate shield doctrine can fail when personal rights are asserted
  • Why the “effects test” can pull IP owners into out-of-state litigation

Tune in for a clear look at how a single demand letter can determine where you end up litigating.
