German term

Unterlassungsschuldner

German to English Law/Patents Law (general) nuisance marketing by e-mail
This is a cease-and-desist letter from an attorney in Germany to a company for unsolicited marketing mail (spam).

Grundsätzlich müssen sämtliche Rechtfertigungselemente kumulativ vorliegen, um eine werbliche Nachricht zu rechtfertigen (LG Bonn, 08.09.2009, 11 O 56/09; OLG Jena, 21.04.2010, 2 U 88/10), woran es hier fehlt. Es handelt sich hier nicht um Werbung für in Bezug auf das Vorgeschäft ausschließlich ähnliche Waren bzw. Dienstleistungen (§ 7 III Nr. 2 UWG).
Die *Unterlassungsschuldner* hatten wie dargelegt in einer für den Verletzungserfolg adäquat-kausalen Handlungsweise an der Verletzung mitgewirkt, um von ihr zu profitieren, wobei jedenfalls auch die tatsächliche und rechtliche Möglichkeit zur Verhinderung des Eintritts des Verletzungserfolges bestand.

I am considering "cease and desist obligors". Not sure if that would do it.
There is also a "Unterlassungsgläubiger", which I will query separately, but for now I am thinking of "cease and desist claimant".

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Unterlassungsgläubiger Kim Metzger (how can I tag a poster here?) has given an elegant translation for Unterlassungsschuldner. If an enforceable cease and desist order is already established in the text, I'd translate "der Unterlassungsgläubiger" as "the injunction claimant". (I've leave the discussion on hyphens in "cease and desist" for another day :)

party subject to a cease and desist order

The OLG Celle regarded the retrievability of the content in question in the Google cache as a breach of the cease-and-desist obligation of the defendant and concurred with the plaintiff. The court held that the party being subject to the cease-and-desist order (“Unterlassungsschuldner”) must ensure, using appropriate measures, that the content encompassed by the cease-and-desist declaration cannot be retrieved either through its own website or by using a search engine.  https://www.fgvw.de/en/news/archive-2015/risk-of-contractual...

A cease-and-desist letter would work fine, I think.
Note from asker:
Kim, I like the phrasing. Your link also provides a solution to "Unterlassingsgläubiger". I hesitate using "order" in "cease-and-desist order", since this is a cease-and-desist letter with penalty clause - not a court order. Would "order" still work in this instance?
Kim, thanks again for your assistance and the excellent link which was useful for other terms as well!

cease-and-desist respondent

In E&W, an applicant to a restraining injunction becomes a claimant on a court order, so is worded Applicant / Claimant vs. Respondent /Defendant in the High Court.
Example sentence:

Effective upon service. A temporary cease-and-desist order is effective upon service upon the respondent.

Thanks and merci vielmals ! I had been thinking of contracting into a one-word Respondent vs. Applicant, albeit too trite. Anyway, the others have learned something,
