You are probably thinking of trademark law. Copyright does not have much of a concept of laches, because it has an express limitations period. A court might not be sympathetic if you allowed infringement just to increase the damages; such as waiting until a work you knew was infringing hit public release to get more out of the lawsuit... but other than that, you don't lose much by not enforcing a copyright promptly. -Jason
