According to the above clause, if it is installed by itself from the font of the wordmaking workshop of the network ** (most of them do not even ask the user whether they agree to the license agreement), this behavior itself is infringing. <>

Founded in early 2009, Wordmaking focuses on the design and development of new Chinese character fonts. The whole design team is composed of graphic designers and professional font designers who have been engaged in commercial design for many years, we have a deep affection for Chinese characters, and have been committed to the design, application and research of Chinese character font glyphs for many years.

In the era of personalized creativity, the design of Chinese character fonts and glyphs is also facing innovative development. The establishment of the word making workshop is not only to undertake this mission and responsibility, but also to focus on enhancing the visual advantage of customers in brand promotion, thereby directly affecting the value of the corporate brand. Strive to help visual designers have more excellent font choices in the design process, so that they can complete design projects faster and better.

As long as the non-commercial fonts are not used for commercial purposes (such as commercial advertising, product packaging, etc.), there is no problem.

Under normal circumstances, for the purpose of profit, the use of fonts as visual design elements in the entire ** or the entire printed materials for reproduction, distribution, exhibition, screening, information network dissemination, broadcasting, etc., will be considered as commercial use.

There is basically no risk of infringement for personal use of fonts that come with general software, as long as it is commercial, it must be authorized, even if it is some fonts that claim to be free for commercial use, it is best to consult before commercial use, different use scenarios, authorization and payment are different.

There are four main fonts, which match different charging modes according to different situations:

1. The ancient calligraphy fonts that have been handed down, such as Yan Ti, Liu Ti, Ou Ti, Zhao Ti, Thin Gold Ti, etc., have entered the public domain, and no one has the right to apply for copyright, and they can be used for free;

2. If the above public fonts are changed, but the changes are very small, they do not meet the requirements of originality of the Copyright Law, and they cannot apply for copyright protection;

3. If the public font is changed, but the change is large enough to meet the requirements of originality of the Copyright Law, it may apply for copyright protection;

4. Completely original fonts that meet the requirements of originality under the Copyright Law can apply for copyright protection.

For example, for the first two fonts, even if they are made into font software, they can only claim the software copyright, but they have no right to claim the copyright of the art work on the font library and the font itself. For the latter two, they have copyright, and they should pay attention to obtaining legal authorization when using them, especially for commercial use.

Look at the popularity of users and the nature and scope of use. The higher the popularity, the more profitable the word project, and the wider the coverage area (online is basically full coverage), the easier it is to receive a lawyer's letter (infringement notice).

There is no problem if it is not used for commercial purposes (e.g. commercial advertising, product packaging, etc.).

I just woke up in the afternoon, it's really uncomfortable, the air quality has dropped sharply recently, and there is dust everywhere. What's going on.

According to Article 3 of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China, copyright includes the copyright of literature, art and natural sciences, social sciences, engineering technology, etc., and fonts belong to the content of computer font libraries, which have been included in the computer font library when using a certain system.

1. Commercial use: for commercial use, that is, for profit-making activities.

2. Non-commercial use: all uses except for the preceding paragraph.

First of all, all fonts are available.

Authority. There are many kinds of infringement, such as copyright, commercial rights, etc., you can't say that the black body was created by you and is subject to other people's fees, this is copyright. But whether it is infringing.

Posterity can use the black body. It's not that the black body can only be used by those who invented the black body. The general Heiti, Songti and so on (the default of the system) are brought by the computer when we install the system, that is, the right to use the font has been given to the user with the computer and the operating system.

If you use it again, it will not be considered infringement.

We often see fonts like Founder and Hanyi infringing before suing because the fonts they use are some rare fonts, such as Founder released a new font, and you use it without saying hello, and you make a fortune with fonts, Founder will be red and will definitely sue you. That is, we don't use it much in our daily life.

The court will decide whether the font has commercial value in your use. For example, if you use this font to make your brand look much more beautiful, and it will directly or indirectly drive considerable commercial benefits. At this time, the font dealer has the right to take a part of your profits.

Usually they negotiate privately and then go to court if they can't reach an agreement. The cost of leaving the court is quite large, which no one wants to see. Font companies are also just in it for the money.

You can't see the difference, and there are many people who can't see it, generally speaking, changing the thickness is not a simple change in thickness, I do fonts, generally you look just the difference in thickness, in fact, there are also subtle differences, and there will be subtle differences in the production process, such as a shake of the hand is a few angles. Unless he copies it directly, which is plagiarism, and it is difficult to determine plagiarism just because it looks alike, it is basically difficult to make two fonts exactly the same. The court looks at the evidence, he said that you plagiarized, he must provide evidence, you say that you did not plagiarize, you also have to have evidence, whoever has more evidence will win.

Why produce so many blackbodies. Because black font is a commonly used word, and various font vendors think that their black font is the most beautiful. That's why there's so much blackbody.

If a font company sues you for infringement, it must provide evidence, that is, it will compare the similarity of your font with theirs to convince the court to rule that you used theirs. If you can prove that you wrote the font yourself, then they don't have a problem with you. But the actual situation is that some second-hand designers are simply copying, there is no change at all, no labor is paid, and all the money earned is still stuffed in their own pockets, so they are not waiting for the defendant.

Define whether there is infringement from the following aspects: there is the occurrence of the fact (result) of damage, and there is a causal relationship between the result and the act of the actor; The perpetrator is subjectively at fault. Infringement is constituted if the above conditions are met.

1. No protection will be given to single fonts that do not specify the carrier and do not delineate the scope of protection. This is because of the font structure of a font.

First, the style is unified, and it is impossible for a single font to make more choices and arrangements for the existing glyphs, structures, and styles, and does not have a high degree of originality for copyright protection. 2. Fonts with carriers and clear scope of protection, such as font tools such as copybooks, lead fonts, font software, etc., shall be protected. It may not be copied, distributed or deduced without permission.

For example, a computer font is essentially computer software and can be protected as computer software rather than a work of art. Legal basis: The works mentioned in Article 3 of the Copyright Law include literary, artistic, natural, social, engineering and technological works created in the following forms:

(a) Literary works; (2) oral works; (3) **, drama, opera, dance, acrobatic artworks; (4) Works of fine arts and architecture; (5) Photographic works; (6) Cinematographic works and works created by methods similar to those used to make films; (7) Engineering design drawings, product design drawings, maps, schematic diagrams and other graphic works and model works; (viii) computer software; (9) Other works provided for by laws and administrative regulations.

How to determine font infringement, professional lawyers will tell you the criteria for determining font infringement, and you should pay attention to it in the future.

Chinese characters have been passed down from China for thousands of years. There should be no copyright in Chinese characters, and Chinese characters should be distinguished from other works of art. If you really want to set up copyright here, it should be limited to the kind of text that has never been seen before, and distinguishes between oversized and common characters such as Song and Hei.

Get some words that ordinary people can't see the difference, what kind of copyright is this!

It can be used as long as it is within the scope of fair use.

If the use produces economic benefits, then judicial proceedings must be carried out in accordance with the normal copyright law.

If you want to know if the font is infringing, you can use a third-party font detection tool, which is the method of many font designers.

1. The redesign of commercial fonts when making logos does not infringe copyright.

2. The logo contains commercial fonts that are suspected of infringement and can be adjusted slightly.

3. Magazines, newspapers, business cards, DM leaflets, and commercial fonts for packaging involve infringement.

1. The redesign of commercial fonts when making logos does not infringe copyright 2, the logo contains commercial fonts that are suspected of infringement, and small adjustments can be made 3, magazines, newspapers, business cards, DM single pages, commercial fonts for packaging involve infringement 4, **Application of Internet posters** and other commercial fonts are considered infringement.

If you make a logo for commercial fonts in the design, it is not considered infringement and can be used;

If there are some commercial fonts in the logo, which may be designed to infringe, then modify and change them slightly.

Open source fonts, or computer-built fonts (Microsoft Yahei, Fang Song, Adobe Fang Song STD, Heiti, Adobe Heiti STD, Kaiti, Adobe Kaiti STD) can be used.

However, the commonly used: Founder, Hanyi, Wending, Ye Genyou, Font Workshop and other fonts are copyrighted. If it is not used properly, it is likely to lead to lawsuits. So remember, you need to be cautious when using it in large companies.

Microsoft Yahei must not be used to do **, Microsoft Yahei is only authorized to Microsoft for use on the system or documents, if you put it on your own production**, it will cause the problem of infringement.

Now there is only a 100% guarantee of non-infringement of Siyuan Heiti and Songti,,, others are now free fonts that can be commercialized, but there is no guarantee that there will be no charges in the future.
