Copyright Infringement

Protecting Your Copyrights

What should you do if your copyrighted work has been infringed? What if a competitor is using your trademark without your permission? What should you do when someone has plagiarized a fair use portion of your work with no credit attribution? Below are sample external links to some sites which address these situations. These links are only for illustrative purposes. One should seek the advice of qualified legal counsel before reacting to any infringement scenario.
