GLI 101: Copyright Infringement Lawsuits

4/11/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Have you ever gotten into wondering the legality when it comes to copyright infringement? This could happen if you come too close to copying someone else's intellectual property, such as slogans, logos, or other intellectual material used for business.

The moment you share it online or through print, TV, and radio ads, you would be liable for damages. The aggrieved party can sue you for copyright infringement, especially if the property in question is patented.
​
However, what if you are just a small business owner? Are you entitled to any protection under the law, particularly when it comes to the additional costs of the lawsuit? The answer would be yes.

You can cover additional litigation costs and damage payments without difficulty if you have general liability insurance. Now that you know that you are covered, it is also important to find out the scope of your coverage points. Here are some additional details about that as follows:
How Does The Copyright Infringement Protection Work?
Overall, general liability insurance may protect you from bodily injuries caused by a third party. However, some other coverage points are included in the mix regarding copyright infringement protection.
They are listed below as follows:
  • Advertising injuries
  • Product liability
  • Commercial property damage
  • Defamation of character, slander, or libel
  • Misappropriation of funds and ideas with regards to the advertising project in question

If you happen to be embroiled in a lawsuit involving copied material from another party, your general liability insurance should be able to protect you from having to pay additional expenses for litigation. This also applies if you or your staff gets physically injured when handling advertising tools related to the infringed copyrighted material.

This is why you would have to file your claim as soon as possible in these situations. That way, you will be able to dispute whether or not you are the plaintiff. If you want to protect yourself against further litigation, it would be best, to be honest with your accounts.

The Closing Statement
Copyright infringement is a murky situation. You should be able to give credit where credit is due to avoid similar problems. That being said, general liability insurance might be able to protect you from additional expenses if you mistake copying someone else's work in cleaning as your own by accident.
