What should a pirated enterprise do if it receives a legal letter from the opposing lawyer? Enterprises must pay attention to the following points:
1. A fine will be imposed immediately upon receipt of the legal letter. Many enterprises think that they need to be fined immediately after receiving the legal letter. In fact, receiving a legal letter only reminds enterprises that they need to replace genuine software within a certain period of time, and they will start to be fined if they fail to rectify within the time limit;
2. Foreign software manufacturers and their agents are all enterprises and do not have the power of administrative law enforcement. What is important is that as an enterprise, they have no right to visit another enterprise, so they don't have to pay attention to the "high pressure" for them and their agents to buy their software;
After receiving the lawyer's letter, the enterprise should neither be too nervous nor adopt the "ostrich policy", bury its head in the sand and pretend not to see it. Instead, it is necessary to understand solutions through various channels and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises. For example, uninstall pirated software and install genuine software as soon as possible, and the local copyright department will not pursue it again.
4. There are usually two ways to solve the problem of legalization: first, enterprises buy foreign genuine software. Of course, foreign software is expensive, and enterprises need to pay huge economic costs for the subsequent annual upgrade costs and various after-sales expenses; Second, the domestic software with high cost performance is selected at the price of 1/5, which greatly relieves the purchasing pressure of enterprises. This method is suitable for non-local SMEs.
If you choose foreign software, there may be information security risks, and foreign software vendors can easily grasp the internal situation of enterprises, thus "kidnapping" and threatening to buy multiple sets of software.
New choice of legalization: domestic software escorts the security of enterprise legalization
It is proved from the Work Manual of Using Genuine Software in State-owned Enterprises that the so-called "genuine software includes both foreign software and domestic software", regardless of whether the product and the previously illegally installed product belong to the same company, they are genuine. With the development of market economy, a large number of domestic 3D CAD design software with independent intellectual property rights, represented by Zhongwang 3D, have appeared in China in recent years. As a national strategic software product, it helps manufacturing enterprises to speed up legalization and complete information construction. Domestic 2D and 3D CAD software is more favored and recognized by domestic enterprises than foreign software in recent years, mainly because of its high cost performance advantage:
1. Copyright protection: We have global independent intellectual property rights, and the purchase of domestic software can also be recognized by government departments; For example, users who buy more than a certain number of China Net 3D can obtain the registration certificate of "Genuine Software Demonstration Unit" issued by the Copyright Protection Federation upon recommendation;
Second, compatibility guarantee: for many domestic small and medium-sized enterprise users, due to the restriction of upstream and downstream enterprises to purchase foreign 3D CAD software, they often have to buy expensive similar software. China Net 3D is compatible with all mainstream foreign 3D CAD software and can process other 3D CAD drawings efficiently and accurately.
Third, security: domestic software is more controllable and more trustworthy than foreign software in information security; Just call the National Legal Aid Mission, and legal professionals will answer questions related to the legalization of laws faced by enterprises and provide tailor-made solutions;
Fourth, cost guarantee: At present, the "Enterprise 3D CAD Genuine Support Plan" has been launched all over the country, and more than 300 enterprises have joined it to solve the problem of legalization at low cost, so as to prevent enterprises from being "kidnapped" by foreign software after receiving the letter of legalization and paying huge fees.
To sum up, when an enterprise receives a lawyer's legal letter about CAD piracy and infringement, don't ignore it, but there is no need to panic. Instead, we need to calmly understand various ways and find the most suitable solution for the enterprise. Under the tide of national legalization, enterprises that use pirated software will be severely hit, and there must be no luck. Don't take risks and try the law. Once successfully prosecuted for infringing pirated software, it will be severely punished, and even the person in charge of the enterprise may be jailed.
