TRADEMARKS: In re Country Music Assoc., Inc, the US Patent and Trademark Office reversed a refusal to register 'Country Music Association' as a mark.
COMPUTER SOFTWARE: In the Advocate-General Opinion in SAS Institute Inc. v World Programming Ltd., a number of questions concerning the interpretation of the European Software Directive addressed the scope of legal protection that should be afforded to computer software in Europe.
COPYRIGHT: In Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation v British Telecommunications Plc, the High Court handed down the first order made pursuant to section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
INTERNET ACCESS: The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has addressed usage based billing practices for the wholesale residential high-speed internet access services, reviewing a decision from January 2011.
TRADEMARKS: In LV Gaming Ventures LLC v. M Resort Phuket, a US District Court recently granted LV Gaming Ventures LLC a preliminary injunction in a case over a domain name.
SOCIAL MEDIA: As the lines between personal and professional use of social media are becoming increasingly blurred, recent case law states there are no specific contractual terms governing the ownership of contacts made in the course of the employment relationship.
ONLINE SALES: In Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmétique SAS v Président de L'Autorité de la Concurrence, the Court of Justice of the European Union found that a ban on online sales in a selective distribution contract can only be compatible with EU law if it can be objectively justified.
COPYRIGHT: In Scarlet Extended SA v Societe Belge des Auteurs, Compositeurs et Editeurs SCRL, a Belgian Court ordered that imposing costly and onerous obligations on ISPs to monitor for copyright infringements is not compatible with EU legislation.
LIABILITY: In a case which has become known as the 'Google Blogpost case', the German Federal Court of Justice ruled on the liability for defamatory third-party content.
PRIVACY: In the United States v. Jones, the US Government's warrantless use of a global positioning system (GPS) was an unreasonable 'search' in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution.
LICENSING: In his Opinion in the joined Costa and Cifone cases, the Advocate-General of the CJEU said that licensing systems and procedures need to respect the requirements of the EU Treaty and legislation must be non-discriminatory, proportional and suitable.
PRIVACY: Recent case law in the US has made it very difficult for individuals to claim Fourth Amendment protection in the types of records and 'behind the scenes' usage data regularly provided to and retained by social network services - or potentially by any website.
