I have also received a letter from John M. DeBoer | Managing Attorney | DEBOER IP, PC
They want a check (Payable to: John M. DeBoer, Esq. – Client Trust Account).
They state the following:
Regardless of any intent or purpose, a finding of infringement is grounds for strict liability in the form of actual damages, including profits from wrongful uses of the images, or statutory damages of up to $30,000 per image, plus possible attorneys’ fees and costs of any related proceeding.
This is a single photo issue and the photo is available on dozens of sites (with a simple google - image search)
With your Defense Letter Program, do you handle this type of case?
Appreciate your site!
