A cease and desist letter does not automatically signify a lawsuit. It is a warning that if illegal behavior does not stop there could be further penalties. What Is a Cease and Desist Letter? A cease and desist letter is an official warning about illegal behavior that lets you know further penalties could follow if the behavior, such as patent infringement, doesn't stop. It does not automatically lead to a lawsuit. A cease and desist order is different from a cease and desist letter. The main difference lies in their legality. Letters have almost no legal standing. Orders do. A cease and desist order is granted by a court, and it serves as a temporary injunction. The party that receives the order must stop what they're doing until a trial can be held. After the trial, a permanent injunction may be ordered. They have only been issued a Letter and not an Order - There is literally 0 legal weight to their claims. Even if we get to the Order stage, that doesnt prove anything (although it will mean delays until trial is held) - in this current state there may not even be delays. Maybe thats wishful thinking, but as of now there is 0 legal evidence or weight to anything Nexon has done. They are simply trying to scare IronMace with threats of legal action. Key difference is that a LETTER just means a COMPANY (Nexon) OR A LAWYER has issued a cease an desist - an ORDER means that a COURT has issued it. Lawyers will take money and write a letter for any or no reason at all. Until the court speaks, nothing has any weight, its just empty bluffs from a lawyer taking a paycheck. or a company shooting their shot in the dark (and darker)
i appreciate you putting an honest and informative title, ive seen so many click bait titles like "NEXON JUST KILLED DARK AND DARKER" and "THE END OF IRONMACE" its honestly disgusting that some youtubers are preying on this emotional moment for everyone just to get a few more clicks and views.
