FAQs

What is considered intellectual property infringement?

Intellectual property infringement occurs when unauthorised use, reproduction, distribution, or exploitation of your intellectual property rights takes place without the your permission.

Intellectual property can include trademarks, utility models, trade secrets, copyrights, patents, and design rights. Infringement can involve copying copyrighted works, using similar trademarks, manufacturing and selling patented inventions, or reproducing protected designs. To establish an intellectual property infringement claim, it is essential to demonstrate that the infringing party has unlawfully used or exploited your protected intellectual property rights.

What steps should I take to make an intellectual property right infringement claim?

If you believe your intellectual property rights have been infringed then start by collecting evidence to support your claim, including proof of ownership of the intellectual property rights, examples of the infringing activities, and any correspondence or agreements related to your intellectual property.

You can then consider sending a cease and desist letter to the infringing business, demanding that they stop the infringing activities immediately. Clearly outline the intellectual property rights being infringed, provide evidence of the infringement, and specify the actions required to remedy the situation.

You should seek advice from legal experts, like us at Oracle Solicitors, who specialise in infringement claims. We assess the merits of your case, guide you through the legal process, and help you determine the appropriate course of action.
