Identification of Intellectual Property Infringement —— How to identify and compensate the infringement in 2023
How to define the infringement of pictures and what are the judging conditions? For each of us, we all enjoy some intellectual achievements and labor achievements, just as our own pictures or paintings are made into electronic versions as our own labor achievements.

When we show that we can't upload, modify or use our own things for commercial purposes, it is an infringement for others to use our pictures without our permission.

Malicious tampering and stealing

Each of us makes our own map, which is our own personal labor. When we have made it clear that others are not allowed to use these things, then others need our authorization to use our pictures at this time. For example, some people maliciously tampered with our pictures when uploading them, tampering with the source and original color of the pictures, which caused the problem of picture infringement to some extent. Or on our publicly released website, directly taking pictures of us and sending them to others, or uploading them to the network, also caused the problem of infringement.

Take it to business.

The most obvious problem of picture infringement is to put our own private pictures on the Internet or commercialize our products for profit, which is the most serious problem of picture infringement. Using our pictures not only infringes on our labor achievements and personal portrait rights, but also has a profitable effect, that is, picture infringement. If you can provide the source of genuine pictures now, you can ask the police for help and safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.

copyright consciousness

Intellectual property is the greatest wealth of each of us. We must protect the copyright of our personal photos. If someone needs our photos to enjoy, we can allow them to take them away properly. But if it is for commercial profit, then we should let them communicate with us before using it. When we find that we have been infringed by pictures, we must take up legal weapons to safeguard our legal rights.

2023 How to judge and compensate for picture infringement 1. The standard for judging the infringement of pictures is some characteristic signs or patterns in the patterns, which are simply adjusted in color and tone, and belong to infringement. Or unauthorized use without the consent of others, is also an infringement. 2. The amount of compensation for picture infringement needs to be determined according to different factors. Let me explain the relevant contents below for your reference and study, hoping to help you.

First, how to judge and compensate for picture infringement

(1) The criteria for judging the infringement of pictures are some obvious signs or patterns in the patterns, which are simply adjusted in color and tone, and belong to infringement. Or unauthorized use without the consent of others, is also an infringement.

(2) The amount of compensation for picture infringement shall be determined in the following order.

1, the actual loss of the picture right holder or the actual infringement number of the picture infringer.

First of all, we should consider the actual loss, that is, the actual loss of the picture right holder or the actual loss brought by the picture infringer to the right holder because of the infringement.

2. The illegal profit of the picture infringer;

If the actual loss of the obligee cannot be estimated, the compensation standard can also estimate the compensation amount according to the illegal profit of the picture infringer.

3. When the above cannot be determined, the court will make a judgment according to the specific details.

When the actual loss of the obligee and the illegal profit of the infringer cannot be estimated, the court will analyze the specific situation according to the evidence submitted by both parties and finally determine the amount of compensation according to the actual situation.

Article 48 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "If copyright or copyright-related rights are infringed, the infringer shall compensate according to the actual loss of the obligee; If the actual loss is difficult to calculate, it may be compensated according to the illegal income of the infringer. The amount of compensation shall also include the reasonable expenses paid by the obligee to stop the infringement. If the actual loss of the obligee or the illegal income of the infringer cannot be determined, the people's court shall award compensation of less than 500,000 yuan according to the circumstances of the infringement. "

2. What is the method for judging the infringement of design patents?

1, to determine the scope of protection of design patents. According to the second paragraph of Article 59 of the Patent Law, the scope of protection shall be based on the pictures or photographs of the patented product of design submitted by the patentee of design to the Patent Office when applying for a patent for design, including front view, top view and side view. Among them, the front view is the most important, because it can best reflect the beauty of design. When determining the protection scope of the patent right of design, we should also pay attention to finding out the elements that can reflect the aesthetic feeling of design from these views.

2. Determine whether the patented product of design and the infringing product belong to the same or similar goods. The identification method to judge China is usually based on the function and use of the product, and at the same time, it refers to the commodity classification in the International Classification of Designs (namely the Locarno Treaty). Where the patented product of design and the alleged infringing product are the same in function and use, they can be identified as the same or similar goods, and continue to compare the following 3. If they are different in function and use, we can conclude that they are neither the same goods nor similar goods, and then we can end our infringement judgment step and conclude that patent infringement is not established.

3. Compare the design patent with the alleged infringing product. That is to say, from the perspective of ordinary consumers, the design of patented products and the design of accused infringing products are observed and judged as a whole. After comparison, the following three results may appear:

(1) If the appearance design of the product accused of infringement is exactly the same as this patent, it is deemed that the former belongs to the protection scope of the patent right, and the patent infringement is established.

(2) The design of the accused infringing product is basically the same as the patent design in the main part, and the whole is similar. According to the principle of equivalence, patent infringement can be established.

(3) If the design of the accused infringing product is neither the same nor similar to the design of the patent as a whole, it is deemed that the accused infringing product has not fallen into the protection scope of the patent right, and the patent infringement is not established.

Through my introduction, I can understand that there are several ways to judge the infringement of pictures. If the infringement is determined, we can ask the other party to compensate for the loss. I hope you can understand.

Is it illegal to open an online shop with other people's pictures? The use of online pictures is an infringement. Whether for profit or not, put the pictures posted by others on your own website, online shop, etc. Infringed on the author's right to disseminate information on the Internet. If you don't sign your name, you infringe on the author's right of signature.

Moreover, picture infringement is essentially an intellectual property infringement, so its constituent elements are as follows:

1, about breaking the law. At least in the field of intellectual property infringement, illegality is essential.

2. About the damage facts (results). In the constitution of intellectual property infringement, the fact (result) of damage is no longer a necessary element, which is one of the differences between intellectual property infringement and general civil infringement.

3. About causality. This is an essential element of civil tort in general tort theory, but because some acts of infringing intellectual property rights do not need damage consequences, it is meaningful to identify causality only when it is necessary to determine the infringer's responsibility for the intellectual property rights infringement that causes damage consequences.

4. About subjective factors. In the constitution of intellectual property infringement, subjective fault is not a necessary element.

The ways to protect the rights of photos infringed on the Internet are as follows:

1, mediation. Both parties may request the copyright administrative department or copyright agency or other third parties to act as mediators and reach an agreement through consultation on a voluntary basis to resolve disputes.

2. Administrative complaints. If the infringement damages the public interests at the same time, the infringer shall not only bear the corresponding civil liability, but also be ordered by the copyright administrative department to stop the infringement, confiscate the illegal income, confiscate and destroy the infringing copy, and may also impose a fine. If the circumstances are serious, the materials mainly used for making infringing copies may also be confiscated.
