Who will bear the lawyer's fees for infringement cases?
The attorney's fees for infringement cases shall be borne by the infringer.

Infringement disputes refer to disputes arising from infringement of the legitimate civil rights and interests of others, such as infringement of property rights, personal rights, intellectual property rights, inheritance rights and even creditor's rights. In many cases, the actor or the person liable for infringement may not only compensate for the loss and return the property, but also bear non-property responsibilities such as stopping the infringement, restoring the reputation, eliminating the influence and apologizing. In tort cases, the lawyer's fee is caused by the infringer's tort, which damages the rights and interests of the infringed. Lawyer's fee is a reasonable fee paid by the infringed person to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests. Therefore, the lawyer's fee is included in the compensation scope of the infringer, and some or all expenses are borne according to the degree of his fault.

The general elements of tort liability are as follows:

1, illegal act. Refers to the behavior of the actor who violates the prohibition or compulsory provisions of the law;

2. The existence of destructive facts. It includes both damage to public and private property and damage to non-property rights;

3. Causality. There is a causal relationship between illegal acts and damage facts;

4. The actor is subjectively at fault. Fault is a subjective factor in the constitutive requirements of tort. As long as the actor is subjectively at fault, he should be liable for compensation.

To sum up, tort liability is the legal consequence that the civil subject should bear because of violating the obligations stipulated by law. Civil obligations have legal obligations and contractual obligations, and legal obligations are set by mandatory norms and prohibitive norms of law. This obligation has universal applicability to every natural person and legal person, and violation of this obligation constitutes tort liability.
