Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am the owner of a small luxury footwear brand based in the US. I have received a cease and desist letter from a Dutch company (Smart Luxury B.V. / Aurélien) making the following claims: Copyright infringement — use of their product photography (we dispute this as all our images are AI generated) Registered Community Design infringement — EU registered shoe designs Brand identity copying — colour, logo style and domain similarity Domain name similarity I need an IP attorney familiar with EU and Dutch intellectual property law to: Review the cease and desist letter in full Assess the merits of each claim Advise on our exposure and risk Draft a professional response within 5 business days Key facts: All product images on our site are AI generated — no Aurélien photos were used The shoe silhouette we sell is a generic loafer style sold by dozens of brands worldwide We are a small startup with modest revenue Please only apply if you have specific experience in intellectual property law and ideally EU/Dutch IP specifically. I need someone who can move quickly — the response deadline is within 5 business days. Budget is negotiable for the right lawyer. Please include your estimated cost for initial review and response letter.
