| Abstract: | One of the greatest challenges faced by
legal systems throughout the world in recent times has been how they approach
the question of the liability of online intermediaries for the infringement of
intellectual property rights that can take place, without actual knowledge on
their part, over their networks or on their platforms. Such online
intermediaries can take a wide variety of forms, but specific types of ‘real-life’ online
intermediary whose activities have now been the subject of a considerable body
of litigation, both in the EU and elsewhere, are access providers, search
engines, the operators of online marketplaces, and those who provide platforms
for user generated content. In the EU the status of the first three such online
intermediaries has now been considered by the Court of Justice of the EU
(CJEU). |
