Document background
An Infringement Notification is a critical legal instrument used when intellectual property rights holders discover unauthorized use of their protected works. This document type is specifically tailored to the requirements of English and Welsh law, incorporating necessary elements to establish legal standing and facilitate dispute resolution. The notification must clearly identify the rights being infringed, provide substantial evidence of infringement, and specify required remedial actions. It serves as both a warning and a precursor to potential legal proceedings, typically used after discovering infringement but before initiating formal litigation. The document helps establish a paper trail and demonstrates the rights holder's attempt to resolve the dispute amicably.
