A quick definition of commencement of infringement:

Commencement of infringement is the first time someone does something that breaks the rules of copyright, patent, or trademark ownership. For example, if someone starts selling items that infringe on someone else's copyright, that is the commencement of infringement. Infringement is when someone interferes with the exclusive rights of the owner of intellectual property, like copying or distributing their work without permission. There are different types of infringement, like direct infringement when someone copies or displays a copyrighted work without permission, or contributory infringement when someone helps someone else infringe on intellectual property. Willful infringement is when someone intentionally breaks the rules, while innocent infringement is when someone does it without knowing it's wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

Commencement of infringement refers to the first act of violating a copyright, patent, or trademark owner's exclusive rights. It can be the first of many separate violations, such as the first sale of infringing items.

  • A company starts selling a product that infringes on a patent. This is the commencement of infringement.
  • A person begins using a trademark that is confusingly similar to another company's mark, causing confusion among consumers. This is the commencement of infringement.

These examples illustrate how the first act of infringement can lead to a series of violations that can harm the intellectual property owner's rights.

Yeah, 7sage has a page that talks about the questions for each schools interview, GULC's seems unique

Idk how much of an effect it has on admissions chances but should be cool either way
ive heard the conversion rate for gulc group interview is pretty high even moreso if you have the stats
it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh
im p sure they don't interview everyone and getting one this early should be a great sign!

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
