Document background
A Copyright Infringement Notice is a crucial legal document used when unauthorized use or reproduction of copyrighted material is discovered. This document, operating within the Belgian legal framework and aligned with EU copyright directives, serves as the initial formal step in addressing copyright violations. It should be used when there is clear evidence of copyright infringement and after identifying the responsible party. The notice typically includes detailed information about the copyrighted work, specific instances of infringement, proof of ownership, and clear demands for remedial action. It's an essential tool in intellectual property protection strategy, often serving as documentation for any subsequent legal proceedings and demonstrating the copyright holder's due diligence in protecting their rights.
