Intellectual property infringement is a crime in which a party violates another party’s intellectual property by using it without the authorization and permission of the party that owns it. There are several types of intellectual property infringements, which include copyright infringement, trademark, and counterfeiting. Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses someone else’s creation and uploads it on a platform without specifying whom it belongs to or without permission. This is because when a person creates an original work, they can obtain copyright and the creation solely belongs to them, which means no one else can copy it.
Trademark infringement happens when a party uses another party’s trademark or symbol or sign without having an agreement. The unauthorized use of someone else’s trademark can create confusion for potential customers and parties as they do not know the source of the product and wonder if the product is truly created by the party with the trademark.
Counterfeiting is similar to trademark infringement, as a party aims to copy the products of another party and sell them with the same trademark and symbols. Counterfeiting aims to obtain money from someone else’s products and image through fake products.
