88 Lawsuits: How Software Vendors Enforce Licenses in India

Software vendors are taking unlicensed users to court in India more often than ever. We read the orders in every case on Indian Kanoon, the public database of Indian court decisions, in which a major engineering or design software vendor sued a company or individual for using its software without a license. We found 88 suits. Seventy of them were filed since 2020. Almost all are in Delhi, and most of them end with the defendant buying licenses.
