infringer

The delay was translated as meaning lack of confidence; and the alert infringer grew strong in courage and capital.

Hence the infringer could imitate the patented design without liability, and the law was a nullity.

Pirated copies might be seized (art. 13) in any of the countries, without prejudice to other punishment of the infringer.

You are an innocent infringer; you can go right along and dispose of the books.

It does not seem proper under such circumstances to hold him to be a willful infringer and guilty of a misdemeanor.
