    What is IP infringement?

    IP infringement refers to the unauthorised use, reproduction, or distribution of intellectual property (IP) protected by law, without the permission of the rights holder. It occurs when someone violates the exclusive rights granted to the owner of the IP, which can include copyrights, trademarks, patents, or trade secrets.

    IP infringement can take various forms and the rights holder may take legal action against the infringer to seek damages, injunctions to stop the infringement, and other remedies available under intellectual property laws.
