Legal Definitions - incroachment

Definition: Incroachment is an old-fashioned spelling of encroachment, which means an infringement of someone else's rights or an interference with their property.

Examples:

• A neighbor building a fence that crosses onto your property is an example of incroachment.
• If a company starts using a trademark that belongs to another company, it is an incroachment on their intellectual property rights.

These examples illustrate how incroachment can occur in different ways, but it always involves one person or entity overstepping their boundaries and infringing on the rights or property of another.
