How are intellectual property rights (IPR) infringed?
Regarding intellectual property law, is copyright infringement theft?
A person’s or company’s \intellectual property rights are infringed when someone else uses their intellectual property in ways that only the intellectual property owner has the right to do.
Here is how the four types of intellectual property can be infringed:
-Copyright is infringed when someone copies, records, publishes, distributes, publicly displays or performs, or makes derivative works of someone else’s creative work without permission.
-Trademark rights are infringed when someone uses a competitor’s trademark (or a confusingly similar one) to brand their own product or service.
-Patent rights are infringed when someone makes, uses, or sells, without permission, an invention for which someone else hold’s the patent.
-Trade secrets are infringed when someone publicly reveals a company’s confidential information.
Depending on each jurisdiction’s laws, there may be certain factors considered or exceptions made when determining whether or not intellectual property rights have actually been infringed.
