Subject: Concern Regarding Trademark Enforcement Practices
Dear [Canna Legal Team],
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the trademark enforcement actions taken by Canna against businesses and individuals using the term “Canna” in their branding. While we fully respect intellectual property rights and the importance of protecting legitimate trademarks, the broad enforcement of common words as exclusive trademarks raises serious concerns about fair competition and the free use of language in commerce.
The word “Canna” is a widely used, generic term associated with cannabis and botanical industries. Attempts to claim exclusive rights over such a common word risk being perceived as trademark bullying—an unjustified attempt to monopolize language that should remain available to the industry and the public. Overly aggressive enforcement not only stifles small businesses but also contradicts the principles of fair trade and competition.
We urge Canna to reconsider its approach and adopt a more reasonable stance that acknowledges the limitations of trademark protection, particularly regarding common or descriptive terms. The misuse of trademark law to intimidate businesses could harm Canna’s reputation and invite legal scrutiny over potential overreach.
We hope to see a fair and balanced resolution that respects both intellectual property rights and the broader interests of the business community. Please consider this a formal request to cease actions that could be seen as unfairly restricting the legitimate use of common words in commerce.
We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Company or Organization (if applicable)]
