Required to review IP claim for Germany Law applying to UK

Customer Question

Required to review IP claim for Germany Law applying to UK site/business
Submitted: 10 days ago.
Category: Law
Customer: replied 10 days ago.
Hello, I recieved this letter of recent. I am a UK company/UK citizen but the claim for infringement of copyright is German. I spoke to a lawyer already and they have said:• UK law after Brexit applies – not German law
• Amount of damages is not representable
- don't have to pay legal fees
- looks a phishing exercise
- they cannot fine me as there is no contractI would like a second opinion to be crystal clear on this whether it should be ignored

Hello,

I've been working hard to find a Professional to assist you with your question, but sometimes finding the right Professional can take a little longer than expected.

I wonder whether you're ok with continuing to wait for an answer. If you are, please let me know and I will continue my search. If not, feel free to let me know and I will cancel this question for you.

Thank you!

Hi thank you for your message, I appreciate this is important to you so I will endeavour to give you a quick but clear answer. Please note this is not a chat service so responses may not be instantaneous. Yes we do see this fairly often. They would need to make a claim in the U.K. under U.K. law anyway which they are unlikely to do so you could just write back deny the infringement and go from there. Hopefully, I have answered your query in a way that is simple and easy to understand. If anything remains unclear, I will be more than happy to clarify it for you. In the meantime, thank you once again for using our services.

Thank you Jeremy. So it doesn't matter what they said. As ultimately all they spoke was German law and has to be UK?
