Cease and Desist letters are intended to be intimidating and misleading. The lawyers who write them deliberately overstate the position of their clients and deliberately overstate your "alleged" infringments. When you first read the laws that are cited, it often appears that the lawyers are in fact correct when they are not. They throw a lot of "terms" at you that are unfamilar and confusing to say the least. Here are most of the terms you may face and descriptions of why they are not valid or why they work in your favor.
