When facing a claim of copyright infringement, the first steps should be to try to determine if the software really does contain code that was originally written by someone else. If there is reason to believe that this is true, then it is recommended to consult a lawyer who specializes in copyright law and software licensing. In the meantime, the organization should suspend all sales or sharing of the software until legal advice can be obtained. Additionally, gathering evidence from developers regarding when and how original code may have been inserted into the product will also help determine an appropriate course of action.

The first step to handle this situation is to investigate the allegations. Try to obtain a copy of the work in question, contact the alleged owner, and research any relevant laws and regulations. Once you have all the necessary information, you can assess the viability of the claim and decide what course of action would be most appropriate given your organization’s needs. This might include seeking legal counsel or amending your software accordingly. It is also possible that your product does not infringe on their intellectual property—in which case, discuss how best to resolve the dispute amicably.
