Can I Pursue Legal Action?

Even though another's work may appear very similar to yours, there is no guarantee they have infringed upon your material.

Since facts do not belong to any singular person, it is impossible to claim rights to them. Similarly, general or vague ideas cannot be copyrighted, making it difficult to prove a case against another company or individual if this is your only basis. If you still believe your ideas have been stolen, you will need to consult with an experienced attorney to determine what steps to take next.

How Does a Copyright Infringement Suit Work?

Once you have retained a copyright litigation attorney, you will need to file a formal complaint. After this, the defendant will have three weeks to file a responsive pleading, either answering the charges or making a motion to dismiss the case. A discovery phase will follow, which can last several months. Once completed, the case moves to summary judgment motions and the trial.

If you wish to bring a case against another individual or business for copyright infringement, you will need to establish that there is significant similarity between your material and another's and that the person accused of infringement had access to your work. If successful, it is possible to recover damages in a copyright litigation case.
