How long does it take to sue someone for copyright infringement?

Am not sure this takes long. Because if you are serious and ready to sue someone over copyright infringement, it depends on how much you are paying your lawyer to do the job

It think that depends on your money and how fast you are paying your solicitor to work. After that the verdict will come to your favour
 
You must sue for copyright infringement within three years of the date of the infringement. The post date shown on the website may not be accurate, since posts can be scheduled, backdated, reposted, and otherwise moved around.
 
Have you ever had to sue someone for copyright infringement? How long did the process take until you received compensation or until a resolution was agreed to? Did your lawyer help or do you think you could have done it on your own?
In order to proceed, an investigation must be held or the claimant must provide evidence of the infringement. Then a court of law must decide whether the media in question is copyrighted or not and this could drag on for weeks with adjournments aplenty, or be quickly solved. It depends on the nature of the case and how the judges see fit to move the case in the right direction
 
It is not really a hard procedure to pursue once you can file the case , that is all but the only thing is the delay in the justice dispensing that could take a long period of time.

i think that the actual time it could take to sue someone depends on how fast you are and it also depends on how seriously copyright laws are considered in your country.
 
The only thing I know about suing someone is after a subpoena might have been served, the person must appear within 7 days (or maximum) for the case. The length and outcome will only be determined by how well you present your argument.
 
it should not take a lot of time, whenever you noticed the infringement you can sue whoever is responsible for it then you guys can settle it either in court or out of court settlement,
 
As long as you have given the lawyers the document that supported your allegations, it shouldn't take you too long. In the court of law, the appropriate actions will be taken fairly fast.

I believe that the real time it may require to sue anyone hinges on how quick you are in the legal aspect of things, as well as how strictly copyright rules are enforced in your nation.
 
The copyright owner cannot sue until she obtains registration, which could take a year

It depends on the context and how big of a suit it is. I would say the average time from start to finish is likely 2 years. In some cases it can take several years longer though.

It doesn't take time to Sue somebody that make a copyright of your product in a Court.
You first of all report the person in police station and write a statement of confirmation and evidences tender in front of police Ipo to handle the case bef reach the court.

It doesn't take much time provided that the imposter is not far from being arrested and you forward the case to an active and rapid response force. Normally the case is taken to court and judged by a lawyer.
 
It largely depends on the place where you reside .
For instance, it takes alot of time to initiate the court action here in Nigeria.
I don't know about other countries though
 
some countries have a very strong judicial process and they are very efficient with their court proceedings, not for every country in the world as some countries judicial process is very slow.

I think that the entire process might be slow, depending on where you live. This is because the court may take a long time to decide and pass a judgement.
 
I've seen corporate organizations do that. I believe it would be fast if both parties came to an agreement fast. In my country though, corruption is so rife that most cases become forgotten if the party with money can bribe the jury.
The time needed to sue someone for copyright infringement depends on the lawyer taking onth case on your behalf , and it also depend how deep the case might be ,
 
Well, I have not fall into victims of such so I wouldn't be able to state the specific days or months for sueing for copywrite infringement. This is a court decision so they can be the one to tell the actual long for you to claim back.
 
It depends on a number of factors, but I'll try to give you an idea of how long it takes for legal action to be taken in these cases. First of all, you have to file a complaint with the court. This means that you need to file paperwork with them stating your claim and asking them for compensation. This process can take up to a month or two, depending on how busy the courts are at the time. Then, once you've filed your complaint, it will be sent over to someone who specializes in copyright infringement cases (usually an attorney).

The attorney will review your complaint and decide whether or not they believe your case has merit. If they do believe it has merit (and if they think they can win), they'll work with you on preparing your case for trial so that they can present it before a judge or jury. This process could take anywhere from several months up to a year or more.

If there are multiple parties involved in the suit (for example: if one party accuses another of copyright infringement), then those court proceedings can take even longer because now there are more people involved who all have their own lawyers and need additional time to prepare their cases for trial as well.
I think you done justice to the question. Before one can go an with copyright infringement, he or she need to get a nod from Attorney that specialize in that area.

Well, the time it may take to sue someone could depend on various factors. There are many law enforcement departments that work in many countries and the time it takes to take action may vary a lot.
