Another batch of copyright and design decisions has been published in Sweet & Maxwell's bimonthly European Copyright and Design Reports. Cases appearing in English include the following:
* Le Serveur Administratif SSA v Ehrmann (Cour de Cassation, France): on whether the courts can order the disconnection of servers used for infringing purposes;
* DaimlerChrysler's Swedish Design Application (Patent Court of Appeal, Sweden): considers the relationship between different designs in a "family" of cars, in the context of a design's novelty;

Wedding photo controversy: do cakes have any rights in photos taken by third parties?

* Wedding Photographs (Data Protection Authority, Athens): on the control of negatives and the right to exploit wedding photos;
* Tlumaczenie (Supreme Court, Poland): is it a defence to an action for copyright infringement to say that the claimant's design qualified for certification but was uncertified?

If you know of any interesting copyright and/or design cases that you would like to see reported, please let the IPKat know here.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
