Intellectual property infringement refers to actions that violate the legal rights held by the owner of intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, etc. Infringement can occur when there is the use, copying, distribution, or production of products without the permission of the intellectual property owner.

• Copyright Infringement: Violating copyright by copying or distributing literary, artistic, video, or computer software works without the permission of the copyright holder.

• Patent Infringement: Using, producing, selling, or distributing a patented product or method without the consent of the patent owner.

• Trademark Infringement: Using a trademark that is identical or similar to a registered and protected trademark, causing confusion among consumers regarding the origin or quality of goods/services.

• Industrial Design Infringement: Using or copying a registered industrial design without the consent of the design owner.

• Production and Distribution of Counterfeit Goods: Manufacturing, consuming, or distributing counterfeit goods, counterfeit trademarks, or infringing other intellectual property rights.

• Use of Fake Domain Names: Registering and using domain names that cause confusion with registered trademarks.
