Обеспечение иска по делам о нарушении прав на объекты интеллектуальной собственности
Coordination between territorially limited intellectual property rights and global Internet activities has
always been the focus of attention. The liability of Internet intermediaries offering potentially global
services that may facilitate infringements of intellectual property rights by others in multiple countries
poses a particular challenge in that regard. At a substantive law level, significant differences remain
between jurisdictions regarding secondary liability for intellectual property rights infringements and
maintaining safe position of Internet intermediaries. This article discusses the conflict of laws aspects of
the liability of Internet intermediaries in light of the recent international efforts to adopt «soft law
provisions» in the field of intellectual property and private international law. In addition, the author
emphasizes that it is often difficult to apply the conflicting norms (lex fori, lex loci protectionis) to legal
relations arising in the Internet, which are usually used to overcome conflicts in law.
