11.2.10 Direct Infringement — Elements is a legal concept that describes the requirements for a person or entity to be held liable for copyright infringement. The elements of direct infringement are as follows: 1. The plaintiff must own a valid copyright; 2. The defendant must have copied the plaintiff's work; and 3. The defendant's copying must be substantial and have occurred in a manner that is actionable under the Copyright Act. There are two types of direct infringement: actual and contributory.

FAQ

In trademark law, direct infringement occurs when a person, without authorization, uses a registered mark on or in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution or advertising of goods or services that is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive. See 15 U.S.C. § 1114.

Determining whether there was infringement involves a two-step analysis by the court. The first step is claim construction, based on the claim language, the written description of the specification, the patent prosecution history, and extrinsic evidence when necessary to understand the patent.

In a case of direct infringement, the patent holder must prove that the defendant made, used, sold, offered for sale or imported the claimed invention. Direct infringement can be proven through literal infringement or through the doctrine of equivalents.

Direct infringement requires an infringing party to manufacture or sell a patented invention. For example, the selling of ?? goods such as shoes, clothing, handbags, etc. that are deliberately labeled as original and mimic the original in style, design, and construction.

(1) another person (a third party) actually infringed; (2) the alleged inducer knew of the patent, and, nevertheless; (3) knowingly induced the infringing acts with a specific intent to encourage infringement by that person.

Proving patent infringement in court requires a plaintiff to prove two broad elements: ownership and validity of the patent, and infringement of the patent by the defendant.

Direct infringement is of two types - literal and nonliteral. Literal infringement occurs when every component in the patent specification has been used in the alleged infringing product/ device or process.

In copyright law, direct infringement occurs when a person, without authorization, reproduces, distributes, displays, or performs a copyrighted work, or prepares a derivative work based on a copyrighted work.
