Liability of ISPs for Trademark Infringement

1 min read

The European Court has indicated that internet service providers (ISPs) will lose the benefit of the exemption from liability for intermediaries under the E-Commerce Directive if they take an active role in relation to offers of trade-mark-infringing goods placed on their sites (such as assisting in matters of presentation or promotion) which allows them to have knowledge or control of the data that they are storing. Injunctions against ISPs, in such circumstances, could be aimed at the prevention of future infringements as well as the cessation of ongoing infringement.

I dealt with Emily regarding my will; she was professional and a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I finally got around to having wills written via the charity scheme (St Gemma's). Emily was great at talking us through the options, answering our queries and setting this up professionally, personably and in a timely manner. I would recommend Winstones to others and would use them again for any legal work we may require in the future.

My situation is fairly straightforward with a couple of areas on which I needed a bit of advice. The solicitor was very helpful at explaining the possible options. The process was thorough and executed in a timely way.

Our experience using Winstons Solicitors for our home purchase was excellent. Communication was clear and timely throughout, and we never once had to chase for a response. Michelle and the entire team were fantastic, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

After losing a family member last year, it made me realise that I had to sort out a Will, as you never know what’s going to happen and when. Emily explained things in clear English and making my Will was so much simpler than I thought it would be.Thank you so much Emily, highly recommended!
