Step 1
According to Art. 146 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for copyright infringement comes criminal liability in the form of compulsory work, a fine or arrest. Also provided are civil legal forms of protection - payment of compensation or damages (Articles 1301, 1252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Step 2
If you believe that your copyright has been violated, first contact the culprit and demand that the violation be eliminated. You can agree with him about the payment of monetary compensation. If the agreement did not work out, you should go to court.
Step 3
Before filing a lawsuit, prove the fact of plagiarism. Use the testimony of witnesses, books, printed pages from websites, discs, videos, expert opinions as evidence. Often the authors cannot solve the problem due to the fact that they do not provide evidence.
Step 4
Next, make sure that the violator does not have a license agreement that transfers the right to publicly use your work. The absence of a contract will be direct evidence of plagiarism.
Step 5
Now you can write a statement of claim. Keep in mind that such claims are subject to a fairly large monetary duty, and the process can take several years. In the claim, indicate the name of the court, your last name, first name, patronymic, the address of the plaintiff, then the defendant. Provide necessary evidence of violation of rights. Be specific about your requirements. Write down the cost of the claim. This is the money that you spent on a lawyer, expertise, the amount of compensation for moral damage, etc. Sign and date the application.
