Inbreukmakende

Inbreukmakende is a Dutch adjective that translates to infringing or violating. It is used to describe an action, object, or situation that contravenes or disregards a right, law, rule, or agreement. The term is most commonly encountered in legal contexts, particularly concerning intellectual property rights and contractual obligations.

When something is described as inbreukmakend, it means it constitutes an infringement. For instance, the unauthorized use of a patented invention or copyrighted material would be considered inbreukmakende. Similarly, a breach of contract, where a party fails to uphold their agreed-upon terms, can also be labeled as inbreukmakende behavior. The concept implies a transgression that leads to a violation of established norms or legal protections.

The consequences of an inbreukmakende act can vary depending on the specific area of law. This might include legal penalties, financial damages, or injunctions to cease the infringing activity. The core idea remains the same: an action that improperly encroaches upon or disregards a protected interest or commitment.
