Presentation

The Challenges for Rights-Holders, Reputation Management and Data in the Digital Millennium 

The online world presents both opportunities and challenges. The ease with which brands can be promoted, with which content and data can be shared and with which goods and services can be provided across the digital plane makes them an easy target for infringers and hackers. The reputation of an organisation depends not just on the quality or exclusivity of its goods or services, but also on the quality of its online security and how well it protects its assets. Counterfeiting, piracy and infringement, defamation and data security are constant threats which organisations need to keep in check. Are the law and procedural rules keeping up with continual advances in both technology and the methods of the cyber criminals? What improvements could be made to give our clients better protection?

    The Challenges for Rightsholders, Reputation Management and Data in the Digital Millenium - The Development of UK Blocking Injunctions

    This presentation will explain how Blocking Injunctions, as they have become known, developed in the UK and what they are designed to address. In doing so, we will explain how this remedy has been adapted to cope with IP rights infringements which are enabled by different underlying technologies and involve different underlying IP rights.

    The Challenges for Rights-Holders, Reputation Management and Data in the Digital Millennium

    Ian DE FREITAS

    The Challenges for Rights-Holders, Reputation Management and Data in the Digital Millennium

    The purpose of this Report is to set out how Blocking Injunctions, as they have become known, developed in the UK and what they are designed to address. In doing so, I will explain how this remedy has been adapted to cope with infringements which utilise different underlying technologies and different underlying IP rights. I will also set out how the Blocking Injunctions have been designed with precision in mind (a requirement under English law), whilst at the same time being flexible enough to deal with attempts by infringers to circumvent them.

    A Blocking Injunction is an Order that can be sought by an IP rightsholder against providers of internet access (ISPs) where the ISPs’ services are being used by others to infringe the rightsholder’s IP. Crucially, it is not a requirement that the ISPs themselves are at fault. It is enough that the ISPs’ services are enabling the infringement of IP rights through technology provided by third parties to users. As the name suggests, the Blocking Injunction is a Court Order requiring the ISPs to block users’ access to that third party technology.
