The company received a phone call from Adobe saying that the software was infringed and wanted to send us a legal letter. Has anyone met it? How to deal with it? Could it be fraud?

The consultant has met Microsoft, and there are complaints about infringement of various fonts and pictures. Generally, the targets are companies with certain compliance requirements, such as the New Third Board Company and listed companies, which are willing to go public.

Such complaints are generally true, and the copyright owner entrusts a lawyer or a professional organization to defend rights, and the latter conducts preliminary consultation through mass information, telephone calls, lawyer letters, etc. Negotiation does not lead to shelving, or prosecution in batches after evaluation. Reconciliation was accepted throughout the process. However, the amount required in the prosecution stage is relatively high, which is generally higher than the average amount of court decisions in similar cases.

According to your situation, if it is only the telephone communication stage, you can put it on hold first. We will communicate after the other party sends a formal letter. Before communication, it is necessary to determine the average amount of court decisions in similar cases through case search, and then negotiate settlement. If the other party's asking price is too high, based on cost considerations, it is recommended to ignore it directly.

There are many results in the negotiations. A consulting unit bought a batch of genuine software from Microsoft.

I am a practicing lawyer in Shenzhen. If I have more legal questions, I can ask for detailed information by private letter.
