About this Gig
Has your proprietary software, source code, or application been stolen, copied, or used in violation of its license? As a licensed US attorney with an understanding of the tech space, I will draft a precise and powerful cease and desist letter to address software IP infringement.
This Gig is specifically for developers, startups, and tech companies. I can address issues ranging from direct code theft and repository cloning (e.g., on GitHub) to violations of EULAs and open-source licenses. Protecting your code is protecting the core of your business.
I will draft a letter that:
- Asserts your intellectual property rights (copyright, trade secret).
- Provides evidence of the infringement.
- Demands the immediate cessation of all infringing activities (e.g., distribution, use, sales).
- Outlines the legal consequences of non-compliance.
Take decisive action against code theft and protect your digital assets. Order now to send a message that will be taken seriously.
Disclaimer: This Gig is for legal document drafting services only and does not establish an attorney-client relationship or constitute legal advice.

FAQ
What evidence do I need to provide?
Provide access to or snippets of your original code, links to the infringing software/repository, and any proof of ownership, timelines, or prior communication. The more detail, the better.
What if my code was stolen by an ex-employee?
This is a common scenario. The letter can be adapted to address breach of contract (e.g., employment agreements, NDAs) in addition to IP infringement claims.
My issue involves a complex open-source license. Can you help?
Yes. The Standard and Premium packages are ideal for this, as they include time for researching the specific licenses (e.g., GPL, MIT, Apache) and how they apply to your situation.
What is the difference between software copyright and a patent?
Copyright protects the literal expression of the code itself. A patent protects the functional process or invention the software performs. This Gig focuses on copyright and trade secret claims related to the code.
How is this different from a standard copyright C&D?
Software infringement involves unique technical and legal issues, including trade secrets, licensing, and different forms of evidence. This Gig is tailored to address those specific complexities.
Will you review the code line-by-line?
This Gig does not include a full forensic code audit. I will review the evidence you provide to build the strongest possible claim in the demand letter.
