Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses, copies or distributes your original work without permission. This can include anything from digital content and media to product designs, branding and proprietary business materials.
In many cases, infringement is carried out for financial gain, with individuals or organisations profiting from work they do not own. Understanding how and where your intellectual property is being used is the first step in protecting your rights and taking appropriate action.
Copyright infringement investigations may be needed when your unique intellectual property has been used illegally for profit without your authorization. Common victims of copyright theft and violations include:
Artists, musicians, filmmakers, authors, journalists, bloggers and other creators finding their work copied and monetized elsewhere without permission or payment.
Companies seeing trademarks, proprietary technologies, digital assets, product designs and other IP stolen by competitors who reproduce and sell knock-offs illegally.
Publishing houses and platforms losing revenue due to news articles, images, videos and other media content being shared and monetized without a license.
