illegal, infringing the intellectual property rights of the company. Intellectual property itself involves patents, trademarks, copyrights, new plant varieties, trade secrets and other fields, and its protected rights content and rights boundary have their own characteristics; The means of protection involve registration, examination and authorization, administrative law enforcement, judicial judgment, arbitration and mediation, etc., and it is objectively necessary to build a work pattern of great protection of intellectual property rights.

after receiving the legal letter from AutoCAD, you should make an inquiry in advance to find out whether it is more appropriate to purchase AutoCAD in full or with software with lower purchase price according to the enterprise's own financial conditions and cost. Correctly understanding the knowledge of software legalization and knowing other software alternatives in advance will help business owners to solve problems legally and reasonably at the lowest cost in an emergency, and reflect the respect and support of enterprises for AutoCAD and other software intellectual property rights.

AutoCAD fined you for using pirated AutoCAD. If you ignore it, or there is no alternative software with lower price to choose from, you will have to exchange high purchasing cost for "peace". Many enterprises think that they need to be fined immediately after receiving the legal letter. In fact, receiving the legal letter only reminds enterprises that genuine software needs to be replaced within a certain period of time, and fines will only begin after the deadline is not rectified. Therefore, within a certain period of time, there is still time to prepare for it.

Extended information:

The harm of pirated software can be summarized in the following six aspects:

1. Infringement of copyright, endangering the development and development of genuine software, especially domestic genuine software. China's software industry is a naive industry that started late, just like a bud that has just been unearthed. If it is not supported and protected, it may be trampled by piracy.

2. Disrupting the market order of electronic publications, endangering the development and development of genuine software market, damaging legitimate business and hindering the development and innovation of cultural market.

3. It seriously affects the normal management and taxation of the software market. Pirated software impacts the market, which greatly interferes with the normal sales of genuine software, and pirated software manufacturers and sellers try their best to avoid management and taxation, which will directly cause huge losses of national tax revenue in software publishing and distribution.

4. Users can't get reasonable after-sales service. Pirated software is purchased from illegal channels. Once users find quality or other problems, they can only admit that they are fooled, and they can't get the good after-sales service as genuine software business units, and they can't get compensation for losses.

5. The pirated software is of poor quality and even spreads computer viruses. From the pirated software sold in the current market, it can be seen that those who carry malignant viruses are found from time to time. It can be said that pirated software is an important source and disseminator of computer viruses, and the self-proclaimed "virus-free" of pirated software is not credible.
