SUSPECTED IP ISSUE — EVIDENCE BRIEF
Prepared by: [Your name]
For: [Recipient / other party]
Date: [Document date]

Your work or mark, ownership basis and relevant agreements:
[Your rights and work]

Observed events and disputed use:
[Facts and records]

URLs, screenshots, timestamps, versions and preserved originals:

[What you want]

Keep observations separate from conclusions. Note any licence, permission, quotation, independent creation or uncertainty. Ask the reviewer which rights and remedies, if any, apply before sending an infringement allegation.

Your next moves

  1. Check ownership, permission, exceptions and the correct platform/legal process.
  2. Use a reviewed notice appropriate to the claim.

Real-world check

Similarity alone does not establish infringement. This is evidence preparation, not a takedown claim or cease-and-desist notice.
