Gather Information

It is important to begin collecting all documents and communications related to the alleged copyright infringement. This may include any cease and desist letters, emails, or other correspondence that may be important to share with your lawyer. It is important to organize and retain all evidence that can support your case.

Seeking Legal Counsel
