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.
