[Consultation] Responding to a certified mail claiming font copyright
Article posted in | VEAT
Small companies often receive certified mail demanding font purchases and settlement money, claiming that font images used in their companies violate copyright law. These certified mailings often contain content that does not align with copyright law, meaning there are cases where it is not actually necessary to purchase the font.
Company A received a certified mail from a certain font developer claiming that its advertisement images used the developer’s font and that the company needed to purchase the font, and entrusted Law firm Veat with responding to it. Law firm Veat examined the font images used in Company A’s advertisement images and concluded that Company A’s use of the font images did not violate copyright law, and sent a reply certified mail to the font developer attaching relevant legal articles and precedents.
After Veat’s reply, the font developer had no further response, and Company A was relieved of the unnecessary need to purchase the font.
Thank you.
