anyone???

Under Canadian law, a plaintiff claiming contributory infringement must prove three elements: that there is direct infringement by another party using a component supplied by the defendant; that the defendant knew that infringement is taking place; and that the defendant encouraged the infringing conduct.

under US law, the first two are all you need to prove.

you better have all three because it will get thrown out pretty quickly. and you will paying for both your lawyers and theirs.
