Less substantive instances of infringements can be dealt with by in-house lawyers sending cease and desist letters. In this way, infringing goods can be dealt with quickly before they saturate the market and dilute the brand, without a huge commitment of resources. Companies can also take proactive non-legal action to ***stay ahead of*** infringements.
