Copyright Infringement and Warning Letters

Gesetz gegen unseriöse Geschäftspraktiken / Act against improper business practices.


The German legislator passed a new law which amends various existing laws, in particular those relating to the provision of legal services and the court proceedings, to give better protection against improper business practices. Among others it amends the regulations of the copyright law with respect to warning letters to be sent to the infringer. The letter has to fulfil certain material requirements. The legal expenses claim has a new cap.
