  De minimis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De minimis is a Latin expression meaning about minimal things, which is mostly used as part of de minimis non curat praetor or de minimis non curat lex, in the sense that law is not interested in trivial matters.
De minimis, in a more formal legal sense, means something which is unworthy of the law's attention.
In risk assessment "de minimis" refers to a level of risk which is too small to be concerned with -- some refer to this as a "virtually safe" level.

Article 21.3 does not explicitly refer to any specific de minimis test, although it requires that the sunset investigation determine whether the expiry of the duty "would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of subsidization and injury."
The panel had understood the de minimis rule of Article 11.9 as pertaining to injury: de minimis subsidies could not be considered injurious.
The panel then reasoned that it would be absurd to consider de minimis subsidization as capable of causing injury at the sunset review stage, when it is deemed incapable of causing injury at the initial investigation phase.

 The De Minimis Dilemma: A Bedeviling Problem of Definitions and a New Proposal for a Notice Rule
In instances where the alleged infringement is arguably de minimis, a court of law is a terribly inefficient fiat to accomplish any kind of allocation between competing copyright uses.
By significantly reducing the element of chance (that a court will consider the use to be de minimis) from the infringer's cost-benefit calculation of whether or not to infringe, this rule would create an incentive on the part of the infringer to negotiate with the author before the infringement occurs.
A court, free to engage in a de minimis analysis since the author had received notice, might find that the evidence of the mediator's proposal (which presumably the infringer had been willing to pay) coupled with the author's unreasonable refusal establishes that the infringer's use was merely de minimis.
