Representatives of Autodesk lost their conscience, and in general, was it?

Question

Law in IT

Hello!
I ask for help with the proceedings with representatives of Autodesk.
Today they called the company, threatened to file a lawsuit due to the use of a counterfeit copy of Autocad and other products, addressed me by my name and patronymic.
Our organization is engaged exclusively in the development of its own software, uses from proprietary everything purely licensed, taking into account each workplace who uses it, otherwise it is free and open source.
After a short conversation:

A - We are filing a lawsuit against you.
I - For what?
A - For using unlicensed products, including AutoCAD.
Me — We don't use that kind of crap.
And why?
I - Because we have Linux and only free software.
A - But you also have accounting, typesetters (I started listing something else, I didn’t listen anymore).
I - Yes, we only have Linux, and we are suing you.
A - What about us?
I - For the fact that you use our unlicensed programs.
A - What do you do?
I - We write programs, and you steal.
A - Thanks for the conversation, I will still send your boss a notification letter that you are using unlicensed programs. Goodbye.

So the question is, do they themselves violate the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the threat, the use of a counterfeit database, or is someone trying to play a dirty trick?
Where to go for clarification, tk. I did not give my data to anyone, especially this organization, whose reputation is not very good in terms of the inability to use their own and other people's information.

Answer 1

I ask for help with the proceedings with representatives of Autodesk.

These guys are not representatives, they are false representatives of Autodesk, because they have fake powers of attorney from a known copyright holder. they have now been fully and repeatedly exposed in the courts of the Russian Federation: for more details see here _ ipnovus.livejournal.com
"director" Martin Parszalk, who signed "their" foreign "power of attorney" on behalf of "Autodesk, Inc." not among the directors on the official. website of this company, there are no documents on the right to sign this "director" on behalf of the company, as well as a lot of other falsifications in their power of attorney, in connection with which these powers of attorney were recognized as improper by the courts of the Russian Federation

Answer 2

We got somewhere a "left" database of organizations with IP addresses, and outsourced the call. Kill or troll, according to your mood.

Answer 3

Read the note on fighting patent trolls . You may find this information useful. In short, a telephone conversation means nothing at all. Maybe the janitor picked up the phone on your side. Or maybe not Autodesk called you, but Vasya Pupkin wanted to play a prank. Your answer should be “We will definitely meet your needs and consider your question or complaint if you send it in an official manner by a paper letter on the letterhead of your organization to our legal address <...> in the name of the director <...>”. If they send, consult with lawyers what to do next.

Answer 4

I'm guessing it wasn't Autodesk who called. Perhaps some third-party "human rights" office, in order to breed for loot, or the sales manager of one of the sellers in order to sell you licensed products. The latter is the most likely. Lawyers prefer written communication to prove in court that the office was warned about the inadmissibility of using the software, followed by a law enforcement check.

Answer 5

And what about us?

I immediately remembered Yeralash:
- And if they give us a sopatka?
- What are we for? O_o
