The escalation path

Three letters, each one firmer. Click a step to read it.

Most infringers back down after the first letter. Escalate only if they ignore you — each letter is dated and kept, building the record a court will want to see if it ever goes further.

RE: Unauthorised use of my original product photos

Dear Sir or Madam, I am the owner of my original product photos. It has come to my attention that [Recipient Name] is using it without my permission — I have neither licensed nor consented to that use. I ask that you immediately cease and desist all use of my original product photos, remove it from every website, listing and marketing channel under your control, and confirm to me in writing, within 14 days of the date of this letter, that you have done so. This letter is sent in good faith and without prejudice to my rights and remedies, all of which are expressly reserved. I would much rather resolve this quickly and amicably, and I hope your prompt cooperation makes any further step unnecessary.

Yours faithfully,Sam EllisonSam EllisonFounder, Example Company

Frequently asked questions

Often, yes. A clear, legally grounded letter shows you know your rights and are prepared to enforce them — most recipients comply rather than risk takedowns, platform bans or court. But a letter is leverage, not a court order: if they ignore it, escalation is the next step.
