The Fight Against Infringement: An Essential Issue for Companies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Infringement (contrefa\u00e7on<\/em>) constitutes one of the most direct violations of companies’ rights.

What Is Infringement Under Intellectual Property Law?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Infringement is defined by the French Intellectual Property Code as any violation of an intellectual property right without the authorisation of its holder. It may concern various strategic assets of the company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trademark infringement<\/strong> occurs where a protected sign is reproduced, imitated or used for identical or similar goods or services, without the consent of its holder. It may be committed online or offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyright infringement<\/strong> consists in reproducing, performing\/displaying or disseminating a protected work without the agreement of its author or successors in title. It concerns graphic creations, software, professional photographs, editorial content, and fashion creations, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design infringement<\/strong> targets the reproduction or imitation of a protected form (packaging, a product design, a specific visual) without authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patent infringement<\/strong> penalises the manufacture, offering, placing on the market, or use of a patented invention without the agreement of the patent holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
