Third-Party Subpoena

A Third-Party Subpoena is a legal document issued by a court or arbitrator, requiring a person or entity who is not a party to a copyright infringement lawsuit to provide testimony, documents, or other evidence relevant to the case. It can be used to obtain information from witnesses, experts, or other third parties who may have knowledge or possession of relevant facts or materials. The subpoena must be properly served and must specify the time, place, and manner of compliance. The recipient may object to the subpoena or seek a protective order if the request is overbroad, unduly burdensome, or privileged.
