Have you experienced piracy or had your IP rights infringed? Or has anyone made a claim against you? What difficulties have you encountered in enforcing your rights? Do you know what to do? What could be done better?
If you have been involved in an infringement case, what was your experience of the process? How aware are you of the IPEC Small Claims Track as an available route to pursue claims? Would you like the option of a range of fixed payment amounts (statutory damages) for infringements instead of having to prove damage?
