Definition
侵权 (qīn quán) specifically means to infringe upon legal rights, especially intellectual property or copyright — it is the exact legal term. Its near-synonym 侵犯 (qīn fàn) is broader, covering assault or territorial violation. Unlike 违反 or 违背 (used for rules/agreements), 侵权 is reserved for rights infringement.
verb
